"Lordy, Lordy, Look Who's 40!" The Journal of Consumer Research Reaches a Milestone
The Journal of Consumer Research has completed four decades as one of the top journals in the larger field of marketing as well as the premier outlet for research on consumer behavior. This elite status is based, in part, on its stated objective as a multidisciplinary journal that allows for a variety of topics, methods, and populations that are central to collectives of scholars from many social sciences and methodological orientations. While a …
Financial Insecurity and Deprivation Life Satisfaction, Self Determination, and Consumption Adequacy at the Bottom of the Pyramid How Economic Contractions and Expansions Affect Expenditure Patterns L…
Consumers worldwide are struggling with serious economic challenges. In virtually every nation, the disparity is growing between the wealthy and the poor. Consumer researchers are responding by trying to understand how consumers experience and cope with financial insecurity and deprivation. They are using an array of psychological, economic, and sociological theories coupled with methodological approaches ranging from experiments to econometrics …
Life Satisfaction, Self-Determination, and Consumption Adequacy at the Bottom of the Pyramid
Concentration on consumption in material environments characterized by too much rather than too little creates important gaps in the understanding of how much of the earth's population navigates the marketplace. This study investigates bottom-of-the-pyramid, or impoverished, consumers to better comprehend the relationship between societal poverty and individual life satisfaction as moderated by psychological need deprivation and described by self…

The impact of perceived corporate social responsibility on consumer behavior
The Multiplicity of Selves and Selves Management: A Leadership Challenge for the 21st Century
As we move through the stages of our lives, most of us continuously add personal and professional ‘selves’ to a growing list of identities. From infancy to adolescence to adulthood, new selves with various role requirements are added, including friend, lover, co-worker, boss, spouse, and parent. While this rising number of selves impacts every aspect of our existence, few among us plan for their growth in a strategic way. An additional complicati…
A Consumer-Behavior Perspective on Intimate Partner Violence
This research examines women's experiences of and responses to intimate partner violence using the perspective of the extended self. From in-depth interviews with a demographically diverse group of women in the United States, the primary theme to emerge was that chronic abuse is experienced as the male partner's ongoing campaign to incorporate the abused woman into his extended self, by appropriating or destroying the aspects of her that give her…
A Model of Consumption and Environmental Degradation: Making the case for sustainable consumer behaviour
This paper develops and examines a model of the relationship between consumption and environmental degradation, using the per-capita Gross Domestic Product as the proxy for consumer behaviour and per-capita carbon dioxide emissions as the indicator of pollution. The time path of emissions and consumption are modelled within a dynamic framework, and the result is expressed as an optimization problem from which Hamiltonian conditions are derived. T…

These composites were written as six short stories that represent the source of ethnographic evidence used to inform five thematic categories. Im…

Abortion in America: A Consumer-Behavior Perspective

The phenomenological study described in this article revealed that (1) a wide gap exists between the language of the public debate and that of…
"Homeless Women, Special Possessions, and the Meaning of "Home: An Ethnographic Case Study
This article investigates homelessness among adult women, an important and growing subpopulation among the homeless.

The Homeless in America: An Examination of Possessions and Consumption Behaviors
This research utilized an ethnographic approach to advance our understanding of the survival strategies employed by the homeless in our society.

We also look at the tools used to facilitate search, acquisition, storage, and consumption of these products. Finall…
