“…Ontological insecurity is not the absence of security, but its diminishment, and consumers move along a continuum between ontological security and insecurity ( Banham 2020 ; Bondi 2014 ). For example, Bondi (2014) describes the everyday experiences of insecurity, along with the testimonies of those living in highly precarious conditions such as refugees and asylum seekers.…”

“…Despite insecurity, they still retain a sense of self-worth and a “faith in the possibility of a beneficent environment,” thereby harnessing hope ( Bondi 2014 , 333; MacInnis and De Mello 2005 ). Further, ontological security is “not simply a matter of self-preservation or self-interest,” but relies on “the well-being of others as well,” ( Banham 2020 , 134).…”

“…Although we categorize responses as affective, cognitive, and behavioral, these responses are highly related. To start with, ontological (in)security is an emotional process, and emotional response is key ( Banham 2020 ). Consumers feeling insecure and uncertain may respond with a full gambit of strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, fear, stress, sadness, grief, anger, frustration, or even depression ( Carver, Scheier, and Weintraub 1989 ).…”

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying economic downturn have dramatically impacted the lives of consumers around the world. From a conceptual perspective, such health and economic threats can severely disrupt consumers’ sense of ontological security and elicit adaptive responses by both consumers and marketers. Given the opportune timing, this issue of the Journal of Consumer Research is focused on articles that address questions of consumers’ responses to external threats. The purpose of this introduction is to provide an organizing “conceptual tapestry” to connect the articles appearing in the issue. This framework is provided as a tool to help researchers structure their particular projects within the broader landscape of consumer threat response and to present some potential directions for future research. In conjunction with these articles, we hope that this conceptual framework will provide a point of departure for researchers seeking to enhance understanding of how consumers and markets collectively respond over the short term and long term to threats that disrupt consumers’ routines, lives, or even the fabric of society.

“…Therefore the main interests of this study refer to the consumer "adaptive" responses to the pandemic threat. Due to the emotional nature of uncertainty and insecurity emotional response is a key in this context (Banham 2020). Literature suggests the whole variety of emotional reactions (stress, sadness, anger, anxiety etc.…”

1) Background: Consumers' response to threat is an important topic and needs further exploration, especially in times of Covid-19 pandemic. This paper contributes towards widening its understanding from the perspective of consumers' purchase behaviour in the context of convenience stores. It adds to the debate on the influence of the Covid-19 threat and all unprecedented pandemic circumstances (exogenous and endogenous impacts) on consumers' purchase routines and habits. 2) Methods: This study analyses a unique dataset of

“…comes from the psychological feelings of individuals in the process of their interaction with the environment. On the one hand, the stable interaction between the individual and the environment creates a sense of trust and stability between people and the environment, that is to say, they believe that their environment is stable, orderly and predictable [18]. On the other hand, the sense of trust and stability formed between the individual and the environment helps people form confidence in the continuity of self-identity, That means, they believe that there is continuity between the past, the present and the future selves, and that they are stable and developing individuals, so they reach the state of ontological security [19].…”

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the social environment of most laborers around the world and has profoundly affected people’s ontological security and behavior choices. Among them, the migrant workers are one of the groups most affected by the pandemic. OBJECTIVE: This study explored the mechanism of the impact of the scarcity of ontological security caused by the pandemic on the risk-taking tendency of migrant workers in China through two studies. METHODS: This study adopts two experimental method, with 514 participants in the first study and 357 participants in the second study. RESULTS: The results show that the pandemic-induced scarcity perception of ontological security promotes their risk-taking tendency, and the migrant workers’ cognitive reflection ability, sense of unfairness and expected benefits play a significant mediating role in this process. The scarcity perception of ontological security promotes migrant workers’ risk-taking tendency by reducing the cognitive reflection ability, triggering the sense of unfairness and overstating expected benefits. CONCLUSIONS: The conclusion of this study can help migrant workers, enterprises and government to avoid potential workplace and social bad behavior.
