價值觀是個體成長過程中從生活、教育與社會逐漸學習而累積而成的。價值觀形成後，穩定不易改變。消費者價值觀一直被視為影響消費者做決策及選購行為的重要因素。本研究旨在探索消費價值觀與選購機能服飾間的關係，並進而瞭解消費者對機能服飾商品的態度與偏好。本研究運用焦點團體訪談法，採立意抽樣法，成功邀約24人參與訪談，以Gutman（1982）提出的方法目的鏈（Means-End Chain Model）進行資料分析。結果發現消費者對各種服飾所需求的機能之重要性依序是布料的手感或觸感，吸濕排汗，性、易去污性以及抑菌除臭。最不考慮的機能性是防磁波、遠紅外線以及瞬間涼感。此外，效能價值是消費者選購機能性服飾商品最重要的指標，服飾的機能性雖然提升該商品在消費者心中的價值感，然而服飾可穿用的時間與地點價值影響消費者對機能性服飾商品價值的評估。而美感價值以及消費者從過去消費累積的經驗對機能性服飾商品價值的建構與選購決策也具有重要的影響力。

The purpose of the study was to explore the consumer values toward the functional clothing. This study has conducted three focus group interviews. Means-End Chain method proposed by Gutman (1982) was adopted to analysis the data. Total 24 participants have involved in the study. There were four types of personal values found to associate to the functional clothing. These four values are effective, economic, experienced and aesthetic value. A hierarchical value map was established according to how the participants connected the values with the product attributes. The results indicated that effective values were the most concerned by the participants. To adopt the functional clothing to satisfy the needs generated by the leisure and sport activities was the main route for participants consuming the functional clothing. Beside the price, how often and when the clothing can be wear were two main concerns appeared in the economic hierarchical route. Aesthetic values also play an influential factor on the evaluation of economic values. Participants’ knowledge of the textiles and the past consumption experience composed the experienced value route.
