Correlates of Consumer Confinement
Confinement is a highly relevant concept for consumer researchers because many consumption situations, such as getting a haircut or taking a flight, have an element of confinement whereby they keep consumers physically restricted to a space. For example, the passenger airline industry is worth $623 billion alone, transporting some 3,530 million passengers a year (IATA 2015), while in retail, manipulated spatial confinement by varying ceiling height and demonstrated that a low ceiling can prime the concept of confinement.
