“…When individuals act on impulse, they tend to do so quickly and nonreflectively, which increases the likelihood of unintended and undesirable outcomes such as unwed adolescent pregnancy (Jones and Philliber 1983), drug and alcohol addiction (Ainslie 1975;Hirschman 1992), eating disorders (Steiger, Leung, and Puentes 1992), and criminal delinquency (Eysenck and McGurk 1980). Impulse buying specifically has been linked to postpurchase financial problems, product disappointment, guilt feelings, and social disapproval (Rook 1987).…”

Although consumer researchers have investigated impulse buying for nearly 50 years, almost no research has empirically examined its normative aspects. This article presents conceptual and empirical,evidence that consumers' normative evaluations (Le., judgments about the appropriateness of engaging in impulse buying behavior) moderate the relationship between the impulse buying trait and consumers' buying behaviors. Specifically, the relationship between the buying impulsiveness trait and related buying behaviors is significant only when consumers believe that acting on impulse is appropriate. The findings from two studies across student and retail customer samples converge and support the hypothesized moderating role of consumers' normative evaluations.

“…Binge eating Strober and Katz (1987) suggest that depression predisposes towards eating disorders and studies by Hudson et al (1988), Garner et al (1990 and Steiger et al (1992) also report a strong .association between binge eating behaviour and mood. Within the CSG sample symptoms of binge eating were associated with high depression and anxiety scores, whereby subjects with a highly disordered eating pattern (BITE Symptom score >20) had a mean BDI score within the mild clinical depression range.…”

The role of psychological and other factors in the treatment of obesity were examined in a community-based slimming group, where some regular attenders appeared not to be benefiting from the six-week weight-loss programme. Fortyseven women, a significant number of whom were of normal weight, completed psychometric tests assessing variables such as mood, binge eating, and nutritional knowledge. Weight changes were recorded over the course of the programme and at one year follow-up. Subjects showed statistically significant but limited weightloss over the programme. Most however regained much of the weight over the subsequent year, with high levels of anxiety and binge eating the predominant psychological features of the least successful subjects. The efficacy of conventional dietetic practice, especially for those with mood and/or binge eating problems, is questioned. Identifying and helping this vulnerable sub-group are stressed and recommendations made regarding psychological interventions for dieters with longterm weight problems.

Most impulse purchasing research investigates individual‐level factors. This paper, however, examines the influence of shopping companion gender on impulse purchasing. The results of the three studies show that shoppers were more likely to exhibit impulse purchase behavior when shopping with an opposite gender companion. In addition, shoppers who were in the low‐cohesive condition and who shopped with an opposite gender companion were more likely to exhibit impulse purchase behavior than those who shopped with the same gender companion, and those who were susceptible to interpersonal influence were also more likely to exhibit impulse purchase behavior when shopping with an opposite gender companion. For shoppers who were not as susceptible to interpersonal influence, the influence of their companion's gender appeared to diminish on impulsive purchasing.
