Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the role of impulsivity and value orientations in impulsive buying on a convenience sample from the City of Zagreb, ages ranged from 20 to 55 years. A Barratt impulsivity scale, Buying Impulsivity Scale, and Value Orientation Scale was administered. The result showed that impulsive buying is associated with attention, motor and non-planning impulsivity. Also, the results have revealed a positive association between impulsive buying tendencies and hedonistic value orientation. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that motor and non-planning impulsivity, but not attention impulsivity, positively predict impulsive buying tendencies. Additionally, impulsivity and value orientations explained 35% of the variance in impulsive buying tendencies. The results suggest that impulsive buying behavior is primarily associated with a hedonistic value orientation.
