Five–Finger-Discount For the Rejected: the Interactive Effect of Social Exclusion and Product Type on Shoplifting Behavior
We introduce shoplifting as a coping mechanism to social exclusion to the consumer behavior literature, and examine its facilitating and attenuating contexts. Results show that excluded consumers who have stolen before, are more likely to shoplift hedonic (vs. utilitarian) products, whereas product type does not impact shoplifting for included consumers.
