The study aims to explore how negative and positive emotions can affect consumers’ buying
behavior. Consumers used to purchase only necessary items, but with the changes in lifestyle and
with an increase in income, consumer buying behavior has changed. They are showcasing different
types of buying behavior. The world is changing faster and so are the emotions of the people. A
rapid transaction can be seen in people's emotions and their behavior which results in impulse
buying. We found that both emotions positively affect the impulse purchase.
Keywords: impulse buying, the impact of emotions on purchase decision, purchase intention,
impulsive purchase decision, positive and negative emotions.

Introduction
Over the last five decades, research on consumer
buying behavior has struggled to better define
consumer impulse buying behavior (Alireza and
Hasti, 2011). The increase in consumer spending in
society has led to the adoption of a new lifestyle in
which they spend less time planning before buying.
The lifestyles of consumers are changing today
primarily as a result of increased income, which in
turn leads to impulse buying (Williams and Davdis,
1972). Impulse purchases are unplanned and the
performance of the stimulus contact is fixed on the
spot (Tinne, 2011). Impulse buying are when a buyer
without any predetermined decision is involved in
the buying process. This study focuses specifically
fon "impulse buying" and various parameters that
contribute toit. Several studies suggest that emotions
can play an important role when consumers are
involved in decision making. We now live in a world
where the epidemic of negative emotions and stress
is becoming a major determinant of many types of
activities that took place decades ago. This study will
help us to know the impact of negative emotions on
impulse buying. It also examines the nature of the
relationship between a person's negative emotional
dominance and the tendency to impulsively buy
things. It takes into account the high relevance of
a person's personality traits and the instinctive
tendency to become an on-the-spot decision-maker,
also known as a consumer with impulse purchases.
This study will help marketers to develop advertising
strategies and convert potential consumers into
actual consumers. It is important for marketing
professionals to fully understand the psychology of
their target segment in order to effectively position
products and brands so as to make branding
decisions. On the other hand, this type of research
can be useful for consumers who want to better
understand their own buying patterns and who wish
to control or modify them if undesired patterns arise.
Literature Review
‘An impulse purchase is synonymous with "unplanned
purchase". Itisan unplanned buying behavior. (Tinne,
2011) An impulse can be influenced by several factors
such as social, financial or psychological. When a
consumer prefers the value of money to the benefits
of a product or thinks about how and to what extent
the products useful, its called a utilitarian approach
to purchasing. However, due to the various factors
discussed later, we know that the game also has a
hedonic component when consumer's stores are
online or in a physical mode. The hedonic component
is related to an unforgettable experience or expected
behavior. Holbrook and Hirschmann and Solomon
(1984), in addition to emotions such as love, hatred,
happiness, boredom, etc. Impulsive purchasing
decisions include emotional (consumer activation),
logical (having analytical control over purchases),
and compassionate (It is based on different kinds of
circumstances) elements (Weinberg and Gottwald,
1985). Specifically, there are five critical components
that alter impulsive consumer behavior (Rook and
Hoch, 1985): impulsive and intrinsic aspiration to
perform, mental imbalance, and evaluative cognitive
decline. Ignorance affects impulse purchase. A
study was carried out on 202 adults. The Impulsivity
Scale based on consumers’ behavior is developed
to examine this impulse and then linked to other
aspects of consumer behavior. In-depth interviews
have configured typical consumers in the factors
such as the origin, and psychological content of
the prototype buyer, other factors are product
presence, voluntary incentives to consume, internal
dialogue (cost-benefit analysis, resistance strategy,
Rationalization, crime), as well as impulse and power.
It is believed that the acquisition of impulses is
inherently difficult. (Rook, 1987; Rook & Hoch, 1985).
The review in the next section is devoted to impulse
buying motivators. Internal factors are factors that
promote a person's intrinsic desire to suddenly buy a
product. Marketers need to represent how different
product lines reflect an individual's characteristics
and behaviour. Marketers can consider anew strategy
into their product design thus allowing consumers
to have more options to express their personality
In addition, the marketers also need to focus on the
social meaning of their products and communicate
how their products may benefit consumers in a way
‘that would reflect their social status in society. (Dr
Ramar Veluchamy, and Aishwarya Gokhale, 2021)
Some studies have shown that impulse buying is
stimulated by various factors, such asmood, presence,
emotions, and pleasure while shopping. When these
components are combined, they are called "internal
factors that affect impulse buying” It has also been
found that "impulse buyers differ significantly in their
Journal of Management & Entrepreneurship, 15 (2), 2021: $6-63'58/ Romar Veluchamy Prank Chowdhury, Pala Marchanda and Soumya Chauhon
mimetic expression than non-buyers" (Weinberg
and Gottwald, 1982). The subjective responses
as a characteristic of impulse buying, and being
neglected to make it clear about impulses, which
are always bought and drawn into purchases, even
if they are not felt at the time of purchase. There
are experimental and non-experimental_ stimuli
{Piron, 1991), Several studies have been conducted
to determine whether the presence of a particular
attribute differs from non-buyer to stimulus buyer.
This symptom has been termed “impulse” or
“impulse buying” in many topics (Rook and Fisher,
1995). Consumers’ motivations must be seen as a
trait or behavior, and people change their buying
impulse routine (Rook, 1987). Badgaiyan and Verma
studied the influence of impulse-buying behavior on
impulse-buying behavior, as well as the influence
of four other internal factors on impulse-buying
behavior, materialism, culture, and personality.
They included five key personality traits (emotional
stability, kindness, extraversion, awareness,
openness) in their study and examined the impact on
impulse buying behaviors. Big Five personality traits
have a significant positive effect on impulse buying
behavior, which is partially supported by research
by Kacen, and Lee (2002). Extraversion personality
traits have been shown to be positively related, while
awareness is negatively related to impulsive buying
behavior. The effect of the other three attributes on
impulse buying behavior was not significant in their
study (Badgaiyan and Verma, 2002).
Various studies have also pointed out that if person
likes to buy a lot of things in a short span of time,
he is more likely to buy continuously because the
tendency to enjoy shopping has a positive effect
on consistent purchasing behavior. (Badgaiyan and
Verma, 2014). Considering Gender Influence, a
study was conducted to find the difference in the
types of products bought by men, and women.
Men had a fast-paced approach and bought on a
consistent basis. The choice of products varies and
men also choose and prefer products based on
more functionality and leisure time, while women
prefer products that have more to do with aesthetics
(Dittmar, Beattie, and Friese, 1995). There are several
other findings that found out that women buy more
beauty and health items because of their beauty,
and are more emotional and image-based. The same
study also suggests that women are more emotional
and cognitive than men (Coley & Burgess, 2003)
Motivational impulse purchasing and cognitive
impulse buying in two different dimensions. Research
investigated the predictors of impulse buying, and
life satisfaction are taking into account the two
parameters mentioned above. Subjective well-being
is known to have the opposite effect. Although self-
selection and self-esteem (a measure of self-esteem)
negatively affect the tendency to purchase impulsive
purchases, the tendency to purchase negative
stimulus items have a negative effect (Silvera, Lavack,
and Kropp, 2008). The companies should develop
better social issue themes as it would help them
connect with the customers, which will influence
‘the buying patterns. There should be a perfect blend
of music and persistence as both trigger consumer
awareness. Awareness should be created in the
consumers minds by all possible means as it is the
most significant factor. The companies should come
up with live advertisements and even come up with
one to one interactions in the rural areas as there
are many untapped markets. (Ramar Veluchamy,
and Rajat Gupta, 2021) News organizations can use
social media platforms to increase their customer
base which otherwise is a challenging thing to do,
Newspaper publishers should look into consumer
behavior so that they can print according to their
convenience which will increase the readability
of the paper. Ultimately, increasing the customer
segment and profitability. The language used in the
newspaper should be easy and readable as analysis,
above resulted in the same. According to the findings,
consumers prefer the latest news in hard copy of
newspapers whereas for online access of news they
prefer instant updates. Therefore a publisher should
focus on capturing the latest news and providing
the same to the customers. (Dr. Ramar V, and Rutika
Ghawande, 2021) Consumers who use YouTube in
specific ways will be affected by such sites, according.
to this analysis, if shops engage with them in similar
ways. The paper attempted to provide insights into
some of the factors contributing to consumer buying.
behavior depending on the reviews of a YouTube
tech influencer but many others factors are yet to be
considered. Since there is a growth in the number
of people using these online platforms in the current
pandemic situations factor like privacy could also be
a main concern. (Dr. Ramar V, and Reema Sans, 2021)
With increasing education level, it is found that

people prefer private cab service over carpooling
services. Factors such as price factor, privacy, comfort,
environmental friendliness, weather, travel duration,
waiting time, ease of booking, offers and cashback
don’t have an impact on consumer's choice. There
is a certain cause and effect impact of customer
demographics on consumer choice. (Ramar V, and
Purbayan Paul, 2021) Education about Personal
finance can be imparted to the employees through
TV programs, community workshops and seminars.
Financial institutions must leverage the popular
media channels such as TV and Internet. The basic
financial education should be introduced into the
core-curriculum at various levels in the education
system to improve the level of financial literacy
‘among students which would form the working class
in the future. (Ramar V, and Prachi Agarwal, 2021)
Moving with various emotions and sudden expansion
of shopping can cause mood swings. Some shopping
has the hope of having negative emotions, which we
hope will lft their mood. Therefore, negative mood
buyers understand that purchasing consistency is
the solution and the mood-changing strategy. Rook
(1985) found in his study that people with extremely
negative emotions could not participate in shopping
Good moods suddenly affect both types of buyers,
but negative moods such as sadness and frustration
can encourage buyers to buy more suddenly. (Rook
and Gardner, 1993). External factors are a part of the
external or external environment. Various studies
were conducted to examine various factors such as
shopping, culture, store environment, and browsing
level. The effects of social influence were also
investigated. Social influence means how sensitive
the user is to the interaction so that the interaction
influences the behavior of the users. The social
impact was investigated in two components (Silvera,
2008). Stern points out nine factors that have a lasting
impact on purchases, including the following: Ease of
purchase, need for small items, mass delivery, self-
service, mass advertising, celebrity boutique show,
short product life, and small size or light warehouse.
Another study examined three situation variables
and then examined their moderating influence on
impulsive buying behavior. These variables are the
availability of time, presence of money, the definition
of tasks. The results showed that although the
availability of money and the definition of tasks are
moderating factors, the availabilty of time is not a
moderating factor and therefore does not influence
impulsive buying behavior (Chang, Yan, Eckman,
2014)). The researcher tried to find the culture and
he studied in two different parts as individualistic
and collectivist aspects. The results of the study
showed that "culture influences the relationship
between impulsivity in purchasing characteristics and
impulsive purchasing behavior”. Collectivists have
the characteristic of buying impulsivity in the same
way as individualists, they repress this characteristic
impulse and act in a way that corresponds to cultural
norms and reduces their impulsive buying behavior
(kacen, and Lee, 2002).
Classification of Impulse Buying
1. Pure impulse purchase
In physical stores, many times similar types of
products are placed next to the checkout. Products
that trigger the purchase of emotional stimuli. This,
type of impulse buying is also known as “escape
buying”. These products can have a nice and inviting
packaging, or it can be a brightly wrapped magazine.
People are very emotional and buy products even
when they do not match with their emotional
behavior. In other words, its a classic impulse buy.
2, Suggestion impulse purchase
This is when the consumer discovers something in
the store that he would not otherwise buy, but now
‘that some rational ideas have come up and he is
convinced that he needs it. So the customer is still
making a forced purchase, basically something they
don't really need, but the argument makes them feel
that the purchase is based on a reason or need, not
on emotion.
3. Reminder impulse purchase
This kind of stimulation is based on purchase
reminders. With this type, customers usually do not
plan to buy the item but prefer to store it by placing
it in the store (online or offiine).
4, Planned impulse purchase
This is also called programmed impulse purchase.
Often, this starts at a low or offer price. Again,
customers are buying what they don't need or need
more.

Research Gap
Many researchers have understood the importance
of emotions in augmenting or sometimes causing
impulsive buying, Further, researchers have classified
impulse buying into four different types. There are
pure impulse buying, impulse buying, proposed
stimulus buying and planned stimulus buying (Stern,
1962). There are 4 types of classification put forward,
the most common being “exposure to stimuli". There
are two types of factors that provide a certain kind
of stimulus for impulsive buying behavior. They
are physical features and psychological features.
There are quite a few studies that have probed
into finding the determinants of impulsive buying
behavior. One of the determinants is emotions both
positive and negative. However, one research gap
identified during the literature review is whether
positive emotions influence impulse buying more
than negative emotions or do negative emotions
have a greater influence. Also, there is scope to
probe into how planned impulse buying works and
What are its determinants. For this study, we refer
to planned impulse buying as 2 phenomenon in
which the customer decides before starting to shop
that they want to spend money and buy whatever
seems right just for the sake of satisfaction to be
received from spending money. Even if that was not
entirely a rational decision. Thus, there is scope for
further explanation on the topic of planned impulse
buying. Further, it has been established that both
psychological factors like personality traits and
emotions affect impulse buying behavior. However,
we still have scope to probe into how well both of
them explain the phenomenon of impulsive buying
behavior and test it empirically
Research Methodology
The income of impulse shoppers, age and physical
features which act as a stimuli for impulse buying
are taken as extraneous control variables. Negative
Emotions, Impulsivity, and impulse buying are
constructs for the purpose of the present research.
The research objective is to probe into whether
negative emotions affect impulse buying more than
positive emotions. Research questions are "Do
dimensions of negative emotions impact impulse
buying behavior?”, “What is the nature of the
relationship between the dimensions of negative
emotions and impulse buying behavior?” Hypotheses
include Negative emotions that do not impact
impulse buying behavior. Constructs are emotions
and impulsive buying. Sub constructs are dimensions
of emotions that are positive and negative emotions.
Ho: Both positive and negative emotions impact
impulsive buying equally. Ha: Negative emotions
affect impulsive buying more than positive emotions,

Scope of the Study
The scope of the study includes establishing that
emotions have a remarkable effect on the impulsive
purchasing behavior of a consumer. We are studying
consumer products in all categories irrespective
of specific interest categories for clothing, beauty
products, education-related, electronics, technology
products, home furnishings, etc. This study will also
be inclusive of both online and brick-and-mortar
customers. In addition to establishing the existence
of the impact of emotions, we will also probe into
‘whether negative emotions impact impulsive buying.
behavior morein comparisonto positive behavior. This
will be tested by comparing the correlation between
negative emotions and impulse buying and on the
other side correlation between positive emotions
and impulse buying, Also, the data has been collected
from respondents of different categories: students,
homemakers, salaried personnel, and self-employed
professionals. One of the underlying assumptions is
‘that all respondents are financially sound and have
access to money to satisfy their impulsive buying
tendencies in varying levels of intensity. Location is
Bengaluru. Bengaluru being a Tier 1 city. if possible,
we may also include other cities like Bhubaneswar,
Indore, Nagpur, and Gurgaon in future efforts
Journal of Management & Entrepreneurship, 15 (2), 2021: 56-63,Influence of Postve and Negative Emotions on impulsive Buying Behavior /62
Sampling and Specifics of Data Collection
The study was conducted using primary data. The
data was collected from a set of respondents chosen
through a simple random sampling technique.
Subsequently, structured questionnaires was sent to
all the identified participants for the study. Some of
them were interviewed face to face or telephonically
as per feasibility.
Variables and Measures
The dependent variable in the study is the proportion
of goods bought through an impulse from a basket of
goods a customer buys. This variable aptly captures
the impulsive buying behavior of customers. Also,
it allows us to be unbiased in terms of variation in
purchasing power and income of respondents as
we have considered proportion instead of absolute
values. The independent variable is the intensity
of feeling positive and negative emotions and that
is sub-categorized into the intensity of different
dimensions of positive and negative emotions. The
dimensions of positive emotions bring happiness,
joy, optimism, peace, contentment, and love, The
dimensions of negative emotions being pessimism,
disappointment, anger, despair, hurt, jealousy,
hunger, anxiety, and frustration. The intensity of
the emotions can be measured on a scientifically
designed Likert Scale and then capture the response
into 3 classes like high, medium, and low intensities,
In addition, we can also consider a Summated Likert
Scale wherein we add all the responses of a person
against his/her positive feelings and consequently
find the total score for the intensity of positive
feelings. Similarly, for negative feelings, we applied
linear regression modeling and analysis to the data
collected in order to establish which dimension of
emotion provides a greater explanation of impulse
buying behavior. Using factor analysis, we can
further look into the correlation between positive
emotions and impulse purchasing and, on the other
side negative emotions and impulse buying. We can
compare these correlations to find out the strength
of impact and nature of the relationship between the
independent and dependent variables.
Data Analysis
For the data collected from over 200 respondents
through questionnaires and interviews, four
regression models were made in order to evaluate
the effect of different dimensions of emotions on
impulse buying behavior. Models were created
keeping different combinations of the independent
variables after doing correlation analysis between the
variables. The independent variables were feelings
like sadness, helplessness, vindictive, hunger, regret,
anxiousness, disappointment, happiness, peace,
satisfaction and excitement. The dependent variable
was taken as the amount spent on impulse buying
out of a basket of goods worth Rs.1000. The overall
R squared value is coming at 75% and the values are
significant. Due to the limited data available, the
analysis was carried out at 90% confidence level
Models were created taking together all positive
and negative emotions into account together in one
study. Other models were created with only positive
emotions interacting with the dependent variable
and only negative emotions with the dependent
variable. Overall it was found that emotions like
sadness, happiness, and encouragement are
significantly affecting impulse buying behavior in
consumers.
Interpretations and Findings
It was found from the evaluation of the regression
models that when all the positive and negative
emotions are there in one model then only upset,
happy, and encouraging emotions are significant.
Regretful, hungry, excited, and helpless emotions
are not significant. It should be noted while upset
and happy have a direct relationship with impulse
buying, encouraging or inspiring emotions are
inversely related. That means a person is not likely to
indulge in impulse buying when feeling encouraged
or inspiring. There is another model with 75% R
square value which reveals only when the negative
emotions are taken into consideration to see the
effect on impulse buying, upsetting emotions are
significant and the others like hunger, helplessness
etc. are not. significant. Similarly, when only
positive emotions are taken into consideration in
to the model, happiness is the only emotion that is
significant whereas peace, satisfaction or excitement,
etc do not affect the dependent variable significantly.
When we compare the models with only positive
emotions and negative emotions separately we can
see that the model with only negative emotions has
a valid R square value of 75% whereas the model
Journal of Management & Entrepreneurship, 15 (2), 2021: $6-6362/ Romar Vluchamy Priyanka Chowdhury, Poa Marchanda and Soumya Chauhon
with only positive emotions is not significant. This
leads us to the interpretation that negative emotions
are affecting impulse buying behavior more than
positive emotions. This interpretation is further
strengthened when we carry out a regression
analysis taking only upset and happiness as the
independent variables. The regression equation can
be written as the Amount spent on impulse buying
13.579 (Happy) + 29.003 (upset) +197.309. The
above-mentioned equation can be interpreted as for
every unit increase in the happiness emotion, the
amount spent on impulse buying increases by 13.6
units. For every unit increase in upsetting emotions,
the amount spent on impulse buying increases by 29
units. From this, it can be concluded that negative
emotions affect impulse buying behavior more
than positive emotions. Therefore, the hypothesis
that both types of emotions affect impulse buying
behavior equally can be rejected
Recommendations
Individualists are considered more impulsive
shoppers compared to collectivists. Brands speak
to consumers in terms of a solution to the negative
emotions they are feeling and then it has the
potential to garner more attention than presenting
the product. Companies can change the narrative of
message through advertisements and promotions
to create a sense of escape or cure from difficulties
of day-to-day life which can be found by customers
than the portrayal of possible happy times by using
the product. In this context products and services
can be placed and distributed in shopping floors
posing as solutions to negative emotions which can
be a guaranteed way to increase sales.
Conclusion
Studies have been done to demonstrate the
correlation between positive emotions and
impulse buying, We found the relation between
both negative and positive emotions and impulse
purchase behaviour. Some emotions such as upset,
happiness, and encouragement significantly affect
buying behaviour. When we compare the effect of
negative emotion and positive emotion, we found
that negative emotions are affecting impulse buying
behavior more than positive emotions. Hence
the objective of this study is achieved since the
results obtained have demonstrated how different
dimensions of positive and negative emotions
can affect impulse buying behavior in consumers.
However, further research efforts are recommended
in this exciting area of study.
