本研究主旨(1)探討大臺北地區消費者對於頭皮健康管理認知與頭皮調理消費需求之現況;(2)探討「個人背景變項」在「頭皮健康管理認知」上之差異性;(3)探討「個人背景變項」在「頭皮健康管理消費需求」上之差異性;(4)探討「頭皮健康管理認知」與「頭皮健康管理消費需求」相關性。
本研究採用量化研究之問卷調查法,以居住在大臺北地區年滿20歲至69歲之消費者為研究對象。抽樣方式以立意抽樣法與滾雪球方式,預試有效樣本132份,正式有效樣本取得438份有效問卷。研究工具包括:「個人背景」資料調查表、「頭皮健康管理認知量表」與「頭皮管理消費需求量表」,資料處理方法以SPSS 26.0版軟體進行分析,採用描述性統計:次數分配、平均數、標準差,推論性統計:獨立樣本t檢定、單一樣本t檢定、單因子變異數分析、雪費事後比較及皮爾森積差相關進行分析。主要研究結果如下:
一、大臺北地區消費者在「頭皮健康管理認知」上平均得分為4.08分,顯著高於理論中點,表示消費者在頭皮健康管理之認知度高。
二、大臺北地區消費者在「頭皮管理消費需求」上平均得分為3.84分顯著高於理論中點,表示消費者在頭皮管理消費需求高。
三、大臺北地區消費者之「教育程度」在「頭皮健康管理認知」達顯著差異,經由雪費事後比較發現 研究所(含)以上與專科∕大學之學歷在「頭皮健康管理認知」優於高中(含)以下;「頭皮健康管理消費經驗」雖在頭皮健康管理認知達顯著差異水準,但組間無差異。
四、大臺北地區消費者之「教育程度」在「頭皮管理消費需求」達顯著差異水準,經由雪費事後比較發現「研究所(含)以上」對「頭皮管理消費需求」優於「高中(含)以下」;在「頭皮健康管理消費經驗」達顯著差異,經由雪費事後比較發現「正在使用」與「曾經使用」者對「頭皮管理消費需求」優於「從未使用」者。

Research instruments include Personal Background Questionnaire, Scalp Health Cognition Scale and Consumer Demand for Scalp Care Scale. Data is analyzed by SPSS Statistics 26.0 including frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, one-sample t-test, independent sample t-test, One-Way ANOVA, Scheffe, and Pearson product-moment correlation. Below are the research findings:
1. The average score of consumers in Taipei metro area on "cognition of scalp health" is 4.08 points, which is significantly higher than the theoretical midpoint, indicating that consumers have high awareness of scalp health.
2. The average score of consumers in Taipei metro area on" consumer demand for scalp care" is 3.84 points, which is significantly higher than the theoretical midpoint, indicating that consumers have high demand for scalp care.
