Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the lived consumption experiences that home confined consumers employ to retain an identity in absence of direct marketplace interaction. Home confined consumers account for a significant percentage of the population that are termed disabled. Disability itself has not featured highly on the marketing and consumer behaviour research agenda, the case of home confinement has not been addressed. This research aims to contribute to understanding and personal knowing about this population. The research adopted an interpretivist approach and drew on a radical constructivist epi

Although substantial literature could be found on consumers’ attitudes towards consumerism and on consumers’ dissatisfaction with consumer products in first- and third-world countries (Lysonski et al., 2012; Orel & Zeren, 2011; Cui, Chan & Joy, 2008; Bhuian, Abdul-Muhmin & Kim, 2001; Varadarajan & Thirunarayana, 1990), no empirical studies could be found that relate to consumers’ attitudes towards consumerism and complaint intentions concerning dissatisfactory consumer products in a Lesotho context.

Abstract:

Despite the popularity of consumers‘ environmental behaviour choices, little research has been forthcoming which analyzes green behaviour across different situations in a systematic way. A particularly relevant stream of research to explain the situational effect on consumer environmental behaviour is the Behavioural Perspective Model (BPM). A key insight of the BPM is of the anticipated benefit consumers acquire and the impact of the environment that surrounds consumer choice. The aim of the research is to interpret consumer environmental behaviour across different situations in a systematic

Abstract:

Although the advance of social media has enabled people to build social connections much more easily than ever before, loneliness—an aversive feeling of being isolated and disconnected—persists in modern society. In this dissertation, I examine when, how, and why loneliness influences consumer behavior. First, I develop an experimental method to induce loneliness and identify a circumstance that experimenters can obtain a successful loneliness priming effect. Across three experiments, I demonstrate that the same loneliness primes produce different loneliness responses based on the availability

Second, by doing so, we evaluate the relative importance of age-related factors (chronological, biological, psychological, and social age as wells as life events and life circumstances) in research on older consumers.

Materialism has long been a subject of interest to researchers. More negative than positive consequences have been reported from studies on the lifestyles of materialists. For example, increased consumer and credit card debt, shrinking saving rates, increased number of consumers filing for bankruptcy, lower levels of life satisfaction and the depletion of natural resources are reported to be emanating from the increasing levels of materialism in societies. It is thus important to investigate the factors that can be implicated for the growth of materialism. Most of the studies attempt to explai

The purpose of the study is to explore consumers’ opinions about femvertising by fashion brands.
