Abstract [sv]

Denna studie har som syfte att öka förståelse för hur generation Zs attityder som konsumenter påverkas av den sociala medieplattformen TikTok. Attityder är utifrån de två använda teoretiska modellerna uppdelade i tre komponenter respektive sex faser. Baserat på tidigare relevant forskning och teorier togs det fram tre hypoteser. Studien tillämpar en kvantitativ forskningsmetod för att samla in en större mängd data, undersökningen samlade därmed in totalt 148 respondenter. Resultaten analyserades sedan med deskriptiv statistik och med korrelationsanalyser.

Resultaten visade att TikTok har en blandad påverkan på generation Zs attityder som konsumenter. Konsumenters attityder när det gäller att bli medvetna och samla kunskaper om produkter samt varumärken påverkas positivt. Vidare påverkas konsumenters attityder gällande omtyckthet och preferens mest positivt, detta innebär att konsumenter tenderar att fatta tycke och forma preferenser till produkter och varumärken genom TikTok. Däremot framkom det att TikTok har en negativ påverkan på konsumenters attityder gällande köpavsikt och köp, vilket visar svårigheter i att TikTok ska kunna påverka konsumenter till att utveckla en köpavsikt men även till att faktiskt köpa produkter.

Hypotes ett och två accepteras medan hypotes tre förkastades. Kön redogjorde för den största skillnaden, där kvinnor påverkades positivt i större utsträckning. Resterande korrelationsanalyser visade på mindre skillnader, såsom högre användning ledde till mer positiva attityder och indikationer på att yngre individer inom generation Z påverkas mer positivt än äldre.

Abstract [en]

This study aims to increase the understanding of how Generation Z's attitudes as consumers are affected by the social media platform TikTok. Attitudes are divided into three components and six phases, respectively, based on the two models used in the study. Based on previous relevant research and theories, three hypotheses were developed. The study applies a quantitative research method to collect a larger amount of data, the survey collected a total of 148 responses. The results were then analyzed by descriptive statistics and correlation analyses.

The results showed that TikTok has a mixed impact on Generation Z's attitudes as consumers. Consumers' attitudes when it comes to becoming aware and gathering knowledge about products and brands are positively affected. Furthermore, consumers' attitudes regarding liking and preference are most positively affected, this means that individuals tend to like and form preferences for products and brands through TikTok. However, it emerged that TikTok has a negative impact on consumers' attitudes regarding purchase intention and purchase, which shows difficulties in TikTok being able to influence consumers to develop a purchase intention but also to actually buy products.

The first and second hypothesis were accepted while the third hypothesis was not supported. Gender was the variable that had the most impact on the results, where women were positively influenced to a greater extent. Other correlation analyzes showed smaller differences, such as higher usage leading to more positive attitudes and indications that younger individuals within generation Z are more positively affected than older ones.
