Abstract

This study argues that impulse buying behaviour (IB) should be multi-faceted and proposes to use urgency-premeditation-perseverance-sensation-seeking (UPPS) as the measurement to examine various types of IB. 414 valid questionnaires were collected from British and Taiwanese respondents. The measurements of the questionnaire include UPPS, IB tendency, and IB choice. This study demonstrates the interactions between the consumption situations and their corresponding impulsivity traits, which illustrates the different types of impulse buying behavioural patterns. The findings provides both practical and social implication for service privders and policy makers.
