Motivational Theory of Gendered Consumption
With the worldwide decline in traditional gender norms, a new wave of consumption has emerged in which consumers engage in gender-incongruent consumption. This research shows that the gender identity perspective cannot explain gender-incongruent consumption. Instead, a motivational theory of gendered consumption is proposed that explains both gender-congruent and incongruent choices.
