Despite varying scholarly perspectives on the concept of generative AI, there is a consensus that it significantly impacts humans and society and requires careful consideration.

However, the potential impact of situational and cognitive factors, such as immersion, serendipity, perceived scarcity, and deal proneness, is rarely studied within the emerging context of the Facebook second-hand marketplace. Hence, this study explores the effect of Facebook second-hand marketplace browsing on impulse buying with the incorporation of immersive experience. Additionally, following latent state–trait theory, the boundary role of serendipity, perceived scarcity, and deal proneness in influencing impulse buying is examined. Employing a mixed-methods design, 684 respondents from the Facebook second-hand marketplace communities were surveyed and structural equation modeling was applied for data analysis. Interviews with 23 consumers were conducted and analyzed using NVivo 8.0, and it was found that user immersive experience mediates the relationship between browsing and impulse buying. Results confirm the proposed interactive effects of serendipity, perceived scarcity, and deal proneness on impulse buying. This pioneering study enriches the social commerce literature by uncovering new areas and situational factors that influence impulse purchases of second-hand goods and highlights the paradox that consumers' efforts to buy sustainably can be undermined by excessive impulsive behaviors. Practical insights are provided for promoting second-hand consumption in social commerce.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48192,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Consumer Studies","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143116143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The severity of the problem tends to hide the important fact that many consumers often resist food temptations. This article aims at designing consumption reduction strategies that build on the spontaneous capacity of consumers to resist food temptations. Across a series of three experiments, of which two laboratory studies and one field study, we find that physical exposure to food temptations reduces subsequent free consumption of similar foods. Building on cognitive control theory, we extend this finding and identify boundary conditions. We show that the reduction of consumption works in challenging populations (e.g., men and children) with pictures of food temptations and that it survives a delay. We also show that the effect is suppressed with explicit prohibition during pre-exposure and with combined exposure (i.e., the combination of physical and picture temptations) in children. The findings are discussed concerning their potential as a social marketing tool.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48192,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Consumer Studies","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143115565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By utilizing the SPAR-4-SLR protocol, we examined 86 studies, encompassing diverse theories, contexts, characteristics, and methodologies (TCCM). A conceptual framework that outlines the antecedents, mediators, and outcomes of anti-consumption behavior was developed by combining variables in this study.

Additionally, this research has pinpointed neglected domains that have received limited attention in this field and put forth pioneering pathways for future research by incorporating the TCCM framework. Specifically, this research proposes potential future research directions, including exploring theories like social learning theory, behavioral reasoning theory, and self-determination theory. Furthermore, we recommend employing advanced methodologies like longitudinal studies, netnography, and neuromarketing to push the boundaries of knowledge in this field.

The ADO framework reveals key factors influencing user decisions—including adoption, usage, booking, continued use, engagement, participation, purchase, and switching—that are shaped by economic, social, technological, trust-related, environmental, and political antecedents. Meanwhile, the TCM framework structures an in-depth examination of dominant theories (e.g., Technology Acceptance Model, Social Exchange Theory), diverse contexts (e.g., studies in China, the US), and methods (e.g., quantitative and qualitative) prevalent in the literature. Key findings emphasize the importance of regulatory dynamics and market shifts on user engagement and platform sustainability. Practical implications offer actionable guidance for platform managers to enhance user retention and to align strategies with evolving regulatory and market environments.

The study follows an exploratory qualitative approach. Data were collected from 215 online reviews and in-depth interviews with 24 consumers with different types of physical disability alongside 14 beauty and marketing experts. The study reveals that psychological wellbeing is the primary motivation for consumers with physical disabilities to use beauty products. However, over time, a strong emotional connection with these brands can form, potentially leading to addictive behaviors. To avoid brand addiction that could harm their emotional and financial wellbeing, beauty companies need to gain deeper insights into their customers, particularly those in vulnerable groups, and focus on creating effective marketing and advertising strategies to raise awareness among them.
