Social Media Amplifies Gift-Givers’ Conspicuous Consumption Motivation
This research reveals an interesting misalignment between gift giver’s and receiver’s considerations. Specifically, we found that facing receivers who are social-media active (vs. inactive), givers prefer conspicuous (vs. not) gifts out of anticipation of receivers’ sharing the gifts on social media; however, gift conspicuousness does not affect receivers’ sharing intention.
