Conspicuous Consumption and Perceived Risk
This paper investigates the relationship between conspicuous consumption and perceived risk. The study explores whether perceived risk increases when individuals hear negative comments from an unknown source. The findings demonstrate that the Veblen and Bandwagon dimensions of conspicuous consumption relate strongly with social risk, though in quite opposite fashion.
