Abstract:

Objective Modular clothing has become an important form of clothing transformation to green and low-carbon with its detachable and reconfigurable characteristics. At present, there are few related studies on modular clothing, and domestic related research mainly focuses on computer clothing system, modeling, and pattern design. There are few studies on the acceptance and attitude of modular clothing. The influencing factors for use intention need additional analysis.

Method Based on the technology acceptance model, the clothing functionality is introduced as an external variable in the model to construct a modular clothing user willingness model. Through the 'questionnaire star' software, 141 young people aged from 18 to 26 were surveyed online and the collected data were analyzed, and seven hypotheses were proposed (Fig. 1). SPSS software was used to test the reliability and validity of the data. After passing the reliability and validity test, the questionnaire was analyzed and hypothesis tested in combination with the structural equation model.

Results Among the 141 respondents to the questionnaire, 37.6% are male and 62.4% are female. After evaluating the five important elements of modular clothing (fabric selection, color matching, style and structure, pattern, and overall design style) by 1-5 points, it is concluded that the highest score is 'color matching' with a score of 4.49, and the lowest score is 'pattern' with a score of 3.38 (full score of 5 ) (Tab. 5). The reliability test shows that the Cronbach's α value of the total sample data is 0.930, the validity test shows that the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value of the total sample data is 0.915 > 0.9, and the significance level is 0.000 < 0.01, indicating that the sample data has good reliability and validity (Tab. 6). The results of model fitness analysis show that chi square divided by degrees of freedom (CMIN/DF) is 1.711 < 3, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) is 0.071 < 0.08, goodness-of-fit index (GFI) is 0.868 > 0.8, comparative fit index (CFI) is 0.945 > 0.9, incremental fit index (IFI) is 0.946 > 0.9 (Tab. 7). The results of model path coefficient analysis show that the P values of Hypotheses 1 to 4 and 7 are all less than 0.001, and they are consistent with the prediction direction, so these hypotheses are accepted (Tab. 8). The P values for hypotheses 5 and 6 are greater than 0.05, so Hypotheses 5 and 6 are rejected. The functionality of modular clothing has a significant positive impact on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Perceived ease of use has a significant positive impact on perceived usefulness. Perceived usefulness has a significant positive impact on attitude. Attitude has a significant positive impact on behavioral intention. Perceived ease of use of modular clothing has no significant effect on attitude. Perceived usefulness has no significant effect on behavioral intention.

Conclusion Young people aged from 18 to 26 pay the most attention to the color matching of modular clothing, followed by the style and structure, overall design style and fabric selection. While,they pay less attention to the pattern. The establishment of Hypotheses 1 and 2 means improving the functional performance of modular clothing can improve the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The establishment of Hypothesis 4 and the non-establishment of Hypothesis 6 indicate that the perceived ease of use of modular clothing can directly and positively affect people's positive attitude towards modular clothing, but the direct impact on the purchase decision is not significant. The establishment of Hypothesis 3 and the non-establishment of Hypothesis 5 indicate that the perceived ease of use of modular clothing can indirectly affect the use attitude through perceived usefulness. The establishment of Hypothesis 7 indicates that people's positive attitude towards modular clothing can positively promote purchase behavior. Therefore, the functionality, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, interest and other aspects of modular clothing are the main influencing factors that affect users' willingness to use. Corresponding measures can be taken to promote consumers to make purchase decisions on modular clothing.
