Shopping Motives and the Hedonic/Utilitarian Shopping Value: a Preliminary Study
This paper presents a study, conducted on a sample of roughly 700 customers of two different shopping centers, which examines the latent dimensions of shopping motives. It shows the existence of two meta-traits underlying shoppers' individual differences: a hedonic one, which can be referred, among the Big Five factors, to Emotional Stability and Conscientiousness; and an utilitarian one, which can be referred to Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Extroversion. These meta-traits distinguish, respectively, the rational and cognitive shopping value from the ludic and recreational one. Theoretical and marketing implications are then discussed.
