This research investigated the moderating role of mindfulness between the social exclusion experience and the impulsive buying tendency. Impulsive buying might cause great damage to those around him as well as to oneself and individuals who experienced social exclusion might use cognitive narrowing strategy to escape from negative emotions. This cognitive narrowing strategy might influences on cognitive structure and methods, which generate various forms of deviant behavior such as impulsive buying. This study looked at social exclusion feelings as one of the causes of impulse buying, and explored how the impact of social exclusion on impulsive buying would depend on the level of consumer mindfulness. Current study was performed on 99 college students. Participants were randomly assigned to group who experienced social exclusion or group who did not experience social exclusion. We analyzed how the mindfulness moderates the effect of social exclusion experience on impulsive buying with ANOVA. The results showed that the impulsive buying tendency was higher for the social exclusion experience group than other group. It is assumed that the cause of this result is that social exclusion experiences elicit negative emotions, leading to self-defeating behavior. Another result is that the difference of the degree of the impulsive buying was higher when the level of mindfulness was lower than higher. On the basis of these results, theoretical implications and practical implications of this study were discussed and the limitations of current research and future research were suggested.

Abstract

This research investigated the moderating role of mindfulness between the social exclusion experience and the impulsive buying tendency. Impulsive buying might cause great damage to those around him as well as to oneself and individuals who experienced social exclusion might use cognitive narrowing strategy to escape from negative emotions. This cognitive narrowing strategy might influences on cognitive structure and methods, which generate various forms of deviant behavior such as impulsive buying. This study looked at social exclusion feelings as one of the causes of impulse buying, and explored how the impact of social exclusion on impulsive buying would depend on the level of consumer mindfulness. Current study was performed on 99 college students. Participants were randomly assigned to group who experienced social exclusion or group who did not experience social exclusion. We analyzed how the mindfulness moderates the effect of social exclusion experience on impulsive buying with ANOVA. The results showed that the impulsive buying tendency was higher for the social exclusion experience group than other group. It is assumed that the cause of this result is that social exclusion experiences elicit negative emotions, leading to self-defeating behavior. Another result is that the difference of the degree of the impulsive buying was higher when the level of mindfulness was lower than higher. On the basis of these results, theoretical implications and practical implications of this study were discussed and the limitations of current research and future research were suggested.
