這項研究的調查對象是Z世代消費者。以抽樣方式蒐集數據，發放問卷597份，全部有效且回收率100%。本研究所使用的資料分析方法包括描述性分析、信效度分析、變異數分析、相關分析和中介分析。

研究結果顯示：（1）FoMO對Z世代族群的炫耀性消費行為有顯著影響； (2)FoMO對Z世代族群的從眾消費行為有顯著影響; （3）從眾消費對Z世代FoMO與炫耀性消費之間的關係有部分調節。

This study aims to investigate Generation Z’s fear of missing out, conformity consumption, and conspicuous consumption relationships. It also seeks to determine whether conformity consumption mediates the relationship between Generation Z's fear of missing out and their conspicuous consumption.

The participants in this study were Generation Z consumers. Data was collected using a sampling method, resulting in 597 distributed questionnaires, all of which were valid, achieving a 100% recovery rate. Data analysis methods used in this study include descriptive analysis, reliability and validity analysis, variance analysis, correlation analysis, and mediation analysis.

The research findings indicate that: (1) FoMO has a significant impact on the conspicuous consumption behavior of Generation Z group; (2) FoMO has a significant impact on the conformity consumption behavior of Generation Z group; and (3) Conformity consumption partially mediates the relationship between Generation Z’s fear of missing out and conspicuous consumption.
