Book Synopsis Retail Therapy Or an Urge to Splurge by : Angel Chow
Download or read book Retail Therapy Or an Urge to Splurge written by Angel Chow and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prevalent phenomenon described as "an unplanned purchase" that is based on sudden, powerful and persistent urge to possess an item immediately without deliberate decision-making, impulse buying tendency is often aroused by an exposure to external stimuli and associated with an emotional response. It has linkage to retail therapy, as consumers make impulse purchases to elevate unpleasant mood states or to compensate for psychological deficiencies. However, impulse buyers tend to neglect long-term consequences of impulse purchases ultimately impacting their mental and financial wellbeing. The present study responded to the need for more theoretical and empirical assessments of factors influencing impulse buying in different population subgroups (e.g., post-secondary students) and in new setting (e.g., Saskatchewan, Canada). Drawing on Trait Activation Theory, the study adopted an integrative approach from various disciplines to examine impulse buying as the interplay of several internal motivators, external triggers, and situational factors, using original data obtained through self-administered questionnaires from 415 undergraduate students attending a public university in Saskatchewan. The purpose of this study is to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in impulse buying including tendency, predictors and post-purchase consequences and evaluations which influence coping strategies used in dealing with post-purchase dissatisfaction. A total of 18 hypotheses were proposed, of which 9 were supported by the statistical analyses undertaken. In line with past research, impulse buying resulted from the interplay of several predictors, including materialism as centrality, self-control, self-regulation strategy, social influence, self-discrepancy motivation, retail environment and money ii availability. Of these, internal personality traits contributed more significantly to impulse buying, with the centrality aspect of materialism making the strongest contribution. A positive association was found between impulse buying tendency and compulsive buying and between these and financial problems. Individuals who experienced feelings of guilt following impulse buying were more likely to use problem-focused or non-avoidant emotion-focused coping strategies, whereas those who experienced feelings of shame tended to use avoidant coping strategies in post-purchase evaluations. The study concludes by addressing implications of the findings and evaluating usefulness of utilizing a more comprehensive theoretical model in understanding the processes of impulse buying of university students.

Book Synopsis Consumer Psychology by : Brian M. Young
Download or read book Consumer Psychology written by Brian M. Young and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches consumer psychology from a unique perspective - it covers the entire lifespan, from birth to old age. Childhood and youth are not discussed as areas special, different and remote from the rest of consumer research but are integrated into our development as humans. Consumption is viewed as a process by groups and individuals with the cycle continuing through to disposal or ownership and possession. The author discusses how people’s natural lifespan influences their relationship to the things they own, how preferences are developed from childhood and how motivations for purchases change throughout their lives from childhood to old age. This book brings together the most recent findings and theories on child and youth consumption, including children’s understanding of advertising and marketing, teen and youth identities and their consumption tastes. Moving through Erikson’s life stages chapters continue on to adulthood, the mid-life ‘crisis’ and possessions and ownership in older consumers. This is a deeply interdisciplinary work that will be of interest to scholars across the fields of psychology, business and marketing, as well as to the more general consumer.
