Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines consumer behavior using the “life course” paradigm, a multidisciplinary framework for studying people's lives, structural contexts, and social change. It contributes to marketing research by providing new insights into the study of consumer behavior and illustrating how to apply the life course paradigm’s concepts and theoretical perspectives to study consumer topics in an innovative way. Although a growing number of marketing researchers, either implicitly or explicitly, subscribe to life course perspectives for studying a variety of consumer behaviors, their efforts have been limited due to a lack of theories and methods that would help them study consumers over the lifecycle. When studying consumers over their lifespan, researchers examine differences in the consumer behaviors of various age groups (e.g., children, baby boomers, elderly, etc.) or family life stages (e.g., bachelors, full nesters, empty nesters, etc.), inferring that consumer behavior changes over time or linking consumption behaviors to previous experiences and future expectations. Such efforts, however, have yet to benefit from an interdisciplinary research approach. This book fills this gap in consumer research by informing readers about the differences between some of the most commonly used models for studying consumers over their lifespan and the life course paradigm, and providing implications for research, public policy, and marketing practice. Presenting applications of the life course approach in such research topics as decision making, maladaptive behaviors (e.g., compulsive buying, binge eating), consumer well-being, and cognitive decline, this book is beneficial for students, scholars, professors, practitioners, and policy makers in consumer behavior, consumer research, consumer psychology, and marketing research.

Book excerpt: Research in Consumer Behaviour presents the latest research, theory and methods in the field of consumer behavior. Consumption is broadly construed to include the processes surrounding the acquisition, use and disposition of consumer goods, services and ideas. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches are represented in empirical papers and conceptual papers include differing philosophical orientations. Occasionally special topical volumes devoted to important emerging ideas of consumer research are published. All papers are peer-reviewed. Contributors, readers, and reviewers come from throughout the English-speaking world and from multiple disciplines. These disciplines include marketing, sociology, anthropology, psychology, communications, and others. Papers are accordingly expected to be free of narrow disciplinary jargon and to draw upon the increasingly broad consumer research literature. While papers are often based on a single culture, a global and cultural orientation is expected. The orientation of the series is to advance understanding of consumption issues from a theoretical and societal perspective rather from a more applied managerial perspective. Studies of both macro and micro consumption issues are encouraged as well as issues of significance in both more and less affluent parts of the world. This volume reflects a number of current trends in consumer research. It is interdisciplinary in focus and in the backgrounds of the contributors. The book is cross-cultural by the same criteria, focusing on basic issues such as the nature of consumer desire, development of consumer culture, consumer behavior over the life course, collecting behavior, and effects of consumption on the environment. Recent trends in consumer research methodology (visual elicitation) and focus (sports, art, popular culture) are all reflected.

Book excerpt: This book approaches consumer psychology from a unique perspective - it covers the entire lifespan, from birth to old age. Childhood and youth are not discussed as areas special, different and remote from the rest of consumer research but are integrated into our development as humans. Consumption is viewed as a process by groups and individuals with the cycle continuing through to disposal or ownership and possession. The author discusses how people’s natural lifespan influences their relationship to the things they own, how preferences are developed from childhood and how motivations for purchases change throughout their lives from childhood to old age. This book brings together the most recent findings and theories on child and youth consumption, including children’s understanding of advertising and marketing, teen and youth identities and their consumption tastes. Moving through Erikson’s life stages chapters continue on to adulthood, the mid-life ‘crisis’ and possessions and ownership in older consumers. This is a deeply interdisciplinary work that will be of interest to scholars across the fields of psychology, business and marketing, as well as to the more general consumer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book coaches marketing practitioners and students how to best satisfy the needs of the older consumer population. It first highlights the heterogeneity of the older consumer market, then examines the specific needs of the older consumer. Lastly, the book highlights the most effective ways of reaching and serving older consumer segments for different products and services such as financial services, food and beverages, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and travel among others. It presents segment-to-industry specific strategies that help marketers develop more refined and targeted micro-marketing strategies and customer relationship management (CRM) systems for building and retaining a large base of older customers. These strategies also help demonstrate how companies can make decisions that increase profitability not only by satisfying consumer needs and wants, but also by creating positive change and improvement in consumer well-being.
