LINE「醜貼圖」有別於一般大眾對貼圖的精美印象，且在傳統視覺認知上甚至到達「醜」的地步，也顛覆了大家對「需有基礎才能申請貼圖」的想法。為了瞭解此一特殊現象，本研究透過兩階段之研究過程進行研究：第一階段，先根據科技接受模式執行使用者的使用經驗問卷調查，以量化問卷調查方式，蒐集並分析使用者在使用醜貼圖時的使用意圖；第二階段，參考第一階段分析之數據後，設計半結構式訪談問卷，再對創作者進行深度訪談，蒐集創作者創作醜貼圖理念與其為因應使用者行為意圖的創作想法。研究發現醜貼圖使用族群多年輕、外向、頻繁使用通訊軟體的使用者，使用者受到「社會規範」影響；醜貼圖文字梗的功能實用性及有趣、新奇增進其使用行為；創作者創作醜貼圖動機多為無心插柳柳成蔭，反其道而行的創作素人，其靈感多源自生活經驗或網路社群流行，創作趣味、搞怪醜貼圖；使用者使用醜貼圖創造了使用行為，創作者也收到使用者的行為反應，兩者間有著類似於相輔相成的關係，終而造就了一個特別的貼圖需求。
