Abstract

The way hosts express emotions in live streaming not only impacts how online consumers perceive e-commerce products but also influences their impression of the hosts, ultimately affecting consumer behavior. This study aims to explore how emotional expression by e-commerce hosts influences consumer preference for self-improvement products. The findings show that the type of emotional expression by hosts affects consumer preference for self-improvement products. Compared to positive emotional expression, negative emotional expression by hosts tends to increase consumer preference for self-improvement products. Additionally, the study observes the mediating role of source credibility in influencing consumer preference for self-improvement products based on host emotional expression. High source credibility leads to a stronger preference for self-improvement products. These findings provide valuable insights for e-commerce hosts to understand which emotional expressions effectively attract consumers and enhance their preference for self-improvement products, and establish a theoretical basis for host emotional expression strategies.
