本研究從心情修復觀點出發，探討不同性別消費者在正負面心情狀態下對於零食類型的選擇差異。從各種心情修復與商品享樂性相關文獻可知，消費者會藉由消費各種商品或服務來改善不好的心情，本研究鎖定零食為心情修復的商品，將零食的鹹、甜口味既存喜好與熱量高、低納入判斷零食享樂性高低之依據，並嘗試用心情修復理論（mood-repair）與補償性消費（compensatory consumption）來解釋零食作為心情修復商品的原因。

本研究將消費者對於鹹、甜口味的個人既存喜好納入考慮，發現零食的享樂性確實會受到消費者個人偏好所影響。研究結果發現，熱量高的零食帶給消費者較高的享樂性感受，而個人對於鹹、甜口味的偏好，也會直接影響消費者對零食的享樂性高低感受，因此不能概括論定甜（鹹）一種口味就具有較高的享樂性。此外，本研究也發現男、女消費者在零食的選擇上是有所差異的，表示在消費者需要用零食進行心情修復時，性別差異其實也可能影響其零食選擇。本研究也針對熱量資訊，探討熱量呈現的有無是否有調節消費者選擇的效果，發現心情不好時，消費者的零食選擇會有受到熱量資訊影響的趨勢。

因為消費者可能會在「享樂、放縱自己」與「健康、愛護自己」之間加以取捨，所以如果想要在市場上推出新零食，可考慮消費者日益重視的健康因素，在零食產品面朝向低卡、低脂或低糖、低鹽等方向加以調整，而且，健康的零食老少咸宜，不限於年輕族群，未來將可能會有更大的市場。
