“…Não obstante a relação estabelecida entre o consumo e a felicidade humana, estudos sobre bem-estar indicam que pessoas extremamente consumistas são menos felizes e encontram-se mais descontentes com as suas vidas, estando igualmente sujeitas a um risco maior de transtorno psicológico, quando comparadas às que são menos consumistas (Burroughs & Rindfleisch, 2002). Por outro lado, estudos empíricos indicam que a posse de bens materiais e a riqueza material não implicam necessariamente felicidade (Albinsson et al, 2010;Jaspers et al, 2023), havendo igualmente investigação que sugere que o consumismo pode resultar no alheamento social. Burroughs & Rindfleisch (2002) estudaram a relação entre consumismo e valores coletivos, concluindo que: i) o consumismo se encontra negativamente associado a valores orientados para o coletivo; ii) o consumismo e os valores orientados para o coletivo são valores conflitantes que geram tensão psicológica (stress); e iii) essa tensão psicológica medeia a relação entre consumismo e bem-estar para indivíduos com valores orientados para o coletivo, mas não para aqueles com baixos valores de orientação coletiva.…”

O desenvolvimento económico, a globalização e a busca da felicidade por parte do consumidor, têm sido apontados como os principais fatores associados ao consumo excessivo. Contraditório com o estilo de vista consumista que caracteriza as sociedades ocidentais contemporâneas, alguns consumidores estabelecem uma forma diferente de estar, recorrendo ao anticonsumo. Esta forma alternativa de encarar o mercado requer melhor compreensão, devido ao seu impacto nas políticas de marketing. O objetivo deste estudo consiste em discutir conceptualmente a relação entre o consumo e o anticonsumo e a sua influência no bem-estar e na felicidade do consumidor. Em segundo lugar, pretende-se desenvolver um modelo conceptual que explique a relação entre os conceitos de consumo, anticonsumo, materialismo e felicidade do consumidor. Tendo em vista os objetivos delineados, realiza-se uma revisão narrativa da literatura sobre anticonsumo e consumismo, com base na qual se constrói o modelo conceptual proposto. O modelo proposto adota a perspetiva hedónica ao considerar a felicidade como a avaliação subjetiva do bem-estar. Supõem-se que o consumo e o anticonsumo, quando moderados, podem contribuir para a felicidade do consumidor. Em oposição assume-se que formas extremas de consumismo e de anticonsumo apresentam efeitos negativos na avaliação subjetiva do bem-estar e felicidade pelo consumidor. Economic development, globalization and the consumer's pursuit of happiness have been identified as the main factors associated with excessive consumption. Contradictory to the consumerist style of life that characterizes contemporary Western societies, some consumers establish a different way of life, resorting to anti-consumption. This alternative way of looking at the market requires better understanding, due to its impact on marketing policies. The aim of this study is to conceptually discuss the relationship between consumption and anti-consumption and their influence on consumer well-being and happiness. Second, we intend to develop a conceptual model that explains the relationship between the constructs of consumption, anti-consumption, materialism, and consumer happiness. In view of the objectives outlined, a narrative review of the literature on anti-consumption and consumerism is carried out, based on which the proposed conceptual model is constructed. The proposed model adopts the hedonic perspective by considering happiness as the subjective evaluation of well-being. It is assumed that consumption and anti-consumption, when moderated, can contribute to consumer happiness. In contrast, it is assumed that extreme forms of consumerism and anti-consumption have negative effects on the subjective evaluation of well-being and happiness by the consumer.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of social media and materialism on impulsive buying decisions and real estate. Furthermore, the paper examines whether social media correlates with materialism and provides insights that will facilitate a better economic climate. Design/methodology/approach The data for the study was collected using an online survey circulated among young immigrants in Canada. A five-point Likert scale was used, followed by structure modeling to test the hypothesis. Findings The findings reveal how impulsive buying behaviors are influenced by materialism and social media among young immigrants. The data support two hypotheses since it confirms that social media affects the amount of materialistic wants possessed by respondents and that the higher their levels of materialism, the more likely they are to make impulsive buying decisions, especially when it comes to buying real estate. Research limitations/implications As the data was limited to Canada, the findings are limited to this region and could vary across geographic regions. The age group was not considered as a huge factor as minors do not always have the purchasing power in terms of housing. Practical implications Materialism, social media and impulsive buying may not always lead to purchasing a home spontaneously. However, one must still consider their financial situation before purchasing anything. The findings in this paper will help customers and consumers of social media to understand what truly drives impulsive buying, resulting in unnecessary purchases. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to examine the factors affecting impulsive real estate buying decisions among young immigrants in Canada, including social media and materialism.
