Contrary to the established Western literature, young Indian consumers were not found to be affected by moods either directly or indirectly. There was neither any main nor interaction effect of moods on compulsive buying. However, deals had a significant main effect, meaning more deals lead to more compulsive buying. This finding is in line with

Kapoutsis volume 32 Questionnaire based research – Young individuals appear to be particularly susceptible to their peers’ evaluations of consumption matters. However, those who experience family disruptions and have a low socio-economic status are least likely to communicate with their peers about consumer matters, possibly as a self-protection coping mechanism. Contrary to previous findings, family communication styles promote rather than deter the development of compulsive tendencies, suggesting the influence of other macro-environmental factors upon the development of young adults’ compulsive consumption tendencies

The affective facet of impulse buying, associated with feelings of excitement and an overpowering urge to buy, is linked to negative affect and susceptibility to interpersonal influence.
