Subject:
consumer behavior; markets; socioeconomic factors; China
Abstract:
... The consumption of counterfeits is a central theme in understanding consumer moralism.

The aim of this article is to gain a bett ...

Subject:
consumer behavior; credit; literacy; prices
Abstract:
... Recent studies have suggested that financial literacy is an important determinant of informed borrowing decisions. Despite the evidence that financially literate consumers are less likely to use alternative financial services, the mechanism through which financial literacy discourages demand for alternative financial services has yet to be fully understood. The previous studies proposed several ex ...

This article uses social cognitive theory of gender development as a framework to propose differing financial socialization of children in the home by gender as a possible cause of gender differences later in life. Evidence is found of gender based d ...

It tests whether consumer–citizen conflicts impair the purchase of ethical food in terms of the ethical intention–behaviour gap. Furthermore, this study examines the potential of eustress arising from citizen–consumer conflicts to enhance actual ethical purchases. Addit ...

... Prior qualitative research suggests a strong association between nostalgia and indulgent food consumption.

To this end, the authors conduct four studies and show that highly nostalgic consumers have greater preference for in ...

Abstract:
... In many societies, the scale of demographic change associated with increased longevity has the potential to influence the market for consumer goods. As a result, continuous improvement in packaging design that takes into account the needs of older people should become an important challenge for both packaging producers and product manufacturers. Due to the fact that there is limited research conce ...
