本研究目的在探討共桌用餐對消費者情緒及行為意圖之影響，以M-R模型作為基礎並透過實驗室實驗法，操弄不同的人潮密度，探討在不同的社會密度下進行共桌用餐，消費者可能產生的情緒及行為意圖。研究對象為東海大學的學生，共回收有效問卷165份，並以t檢定與多元線性迴歸分析等進行分析。研究結果顯示人潮密度的不同，對於消費者的情緒也會產生不同的影響，且當消費者經由共桌用餐所產生的正面情緒與負面情緒，會影響到後續的行為意圖，如：負面情緒可能產生負面的口碑或不願意再次光顧等行為。故本研究建議餐飲服務業者在進行共桌用餐時，應針對用餐空間的規劃、座位擺設等多方作考量，以避免因為共桌用餐環境空間中的擁擠，而影響了顧客的用餐情緒，另外可藉由一些方法來降低顧客的負面情緒，例如：共桌用餐就贈送小菜或飲料一杯等，以安撫並提高顧客的正面情緒，並增加顧客之再訪意願，且同時達到餐廳空間容量的最大使用率。 The aim of this study is to explore the effect of table sharing on consumer emotions and behavioral intentions.
