Cultural Influence on Conspicuous Consumption and Pro-Social Behavior in Response to Social Exclusion and the Role of Communication Norms

Responses to exclusion differ as a function of culture because of cultural differences in communication norms. Specifically, the norm-congruent communication of exclusion threatens relational needs, resulting in prosocial behavior, whereas the norm-incongruent communication of exclusion threatens efficacy needs, resulting in conspicuous consumption. Communication norms mediate the moderating effect of culture.
