“…People experiencing stressful conditions frequently attempt to manage them by adopting negative coping styles (i.e., disengagement, avoidance, or emotion-focused strategies) [30,31]. This is believed to occur as a means for individuals to protect their remaining resources rather than consume them, hence, avoidance and denial [32]. College students often have more negative emotions, which serves to reduce their flexibility of thinking and narrow their cognitive range, leaving them more likely to adopt negative ways to deal with excessive stress and pressure [32].…”

Cyberloafing has increasingly attracted the attention of scholars because of the widespread use of digital devices in educational environments. This research was conducted to investigate the roles of fatigue and negative coping styles in mediating the relationship between perceived stress and cyberloafing. A total of 730 undergraduates (reduced to 716 due to incomplete data) completed self-report questionnaires measuring perceived stress, fatigue, negative coping styles, and cyberloafing. Perceived stress was shown to be a significant predictor of cyberloafing. Furthermore, negative coping styles played a unique mediating role and fatigue and negative coping styles exerted a sequential mediating effect on the association between perceived stress and cyberloafing. We envision the findings as being helpful in guiding educators develop interventions for minimizing cyberloafing by college students and its disrupting effects.

“…However, in psychological research, emotionally-driven buying motives are rarely explored. Negative coping has been previously identified as a mediating factor between perceived stress and online CB in women (13). Moreover, boredom and positive emotions were more frequently associated with engagement in buying lapses (28).…”

“…According to several authors, low self-esteem is associated with CB (18)(19)(20). In a study on 548 female consumers, selfesteem was identified as a moderating factor both of the direct relationship between perceived stress and online CB and of the mediation effect of negative coping in the relationship between perceived stress and online CB (13). More specifically, Biolcati highlighted that low self-esteem is a strong predictor of CB, and that this relationship is partially mediated by the fear of others' negative judgment in women (20).…”

“…Several psychological factors may be involved in the etiology of CB, such as impulsivity, material values, depression, perceived stress, poor self-esteem, decision-making difficulties, cuereactivity reward and punishment sensitivity, distortions in judging elapsed time, etc. (5,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Among them, impulsivity was certainly the most studied because it may relate to the loss of control experienced by compulsive buyers (9,(14)(15)(16).…”

A Typology of Buyers Grounded in Psychological Risk Factors for Compulsive Buying (Impulsivity, Self-Esteem, and Buying Motives): Latent Class Analysis Approach ina Community Sample

et al. 2020

Our objective was to identify meaningful subgroups of buyers based on psychological risk factors for compulsive buying. A community sample of 242 adult women fulfilled an online survey exploring buying habits and motives, impulsivity, self-esteem, and severity of compulsive buying. A latent class cluster analysis was performed. A nonproblematic cluster (28%) was characterized by low levels of impulsivity and buying motives. An intermediary cluster (51%) was characterized by higher levels of positive and negative reinforcementrelated buying motives. Both clusters were characterized by a low frequency of compulsive buying (2 and 8%, respectively), but the severity of compulsive buying was higher for the intermediary cluster. A third cluster (21%) was characterized by a higher frequency of compulsive buying (43%), a higher severity of compulsive buying, a stronger feeling of losing control, and higher levels of negative urgency and coping motive. These results present similarities with the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model of addiction and the negative reinforcement model of drug addiction, which both postulate that negative feelings play a central role in motivating and maintaining addiction. These results also echo other typologies performed in problem gamblers and problematic videogame users. These similarities of psychological profiles with other addictive behaviors, and with common symptoms and clinical expressions, are supplementary arguments to consider conceptualizing compulsive buying as an addictive disorder.

“…We tested the moderated mediation model using model 91 of the PROCESS macro ( http://www.afhayes.com , Hayes, 2013 ). This approach has been developed and widely used for testing complex models that include both mediating and moderating variables (e.g., Liu et al, 2019 ; Zheng et al, 2020 ). The bootstrapping method was used to test the mediation effects.…”

Body Image Dissatisfaction and Impulse Buying: A Moderated Mediation Model

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study investigated the mediating roles of self-acceptance and self-esteem in the relationship between body image dissatisfaction and impulse buying, and tested the moderating effect of gender on the relationships. A sample of 374 college students and graduate students (33.4% male, 66.6% female) participated in the study. Results revealed that (a) body image dissatisfaction positively associated with impulse buying; (b) self-esteem plays a mediating role between body image dissatisfaction and impulsive buying; (c) a serial indirect pathway (i.e., Body image dissatisfaction → self-acceptance → self-esteem → impulse buying) emerged; (d) the mediation path from self-acceptance to self-esteem was stronger for female than that from male. The results underscore the importance of identifying the mechanisms that moderate the mediated path between body image dissatisfaction and impulse buying among students. These findings point to the potential implications about how to reduce impulse buying through improving body image satisfaction.
