災害引發之民眾恐慌購買及囤貨行為成因探討

Abstract

災害引發的恐慌購買與囤貨行為(Disaster-Induced Panic Buying for Hoarding) 在世界各國都經常發生,並且造成市場的動盪及社會情緒的恐慌,因此,這是政 府當局者必須面對與處理的問題,才能避免在重大災害後,又再發生二次傷害。 本研究探討一般民眾對於災害造成的囤貨行為、囤貨期望利益、災害引發的 情緒性反應、情緒感染及政府支援對於災害引發的恐慌購買及囤貨行為是否具有 關聯性。本研究以一般民眾為訪問對象進行問卷發放,並於回收後運用敘述性統 計、信效度分析、結構方程模式分析等方法,以檢驗研究之原假說模型,最後在 檢驗結果不佳的情況下提出新的假說模型並進行驗證。 依照分析的結果,本研究共得出 3 個結論,分別為: ㄧ、「災害造成的囤貨行為」正向影響「災害引發之恐慌購買與囤貨行為」。表 示當民眾愈想要囤貨,恐慌購買的情形就愈嚴重。 二、「災害囤貨造成的利益」正向影響「災害造成的囤貨行為」。表示民眾認為 囤貨有助於幫助其增加利益或規避損失,因此囤貨的意圖也提升。 三、「災害引發的情緒反與情緒感染」正向影響「災害引發之恐慌購買與囤貨行 為」。表示當社會上恐慌及害怕情緒愈強,民眾為囤貨而恐慌購買的清況也 愈嚴重。
