摘要
In this research, the effects of self-control exercises on impulse buying urges are examined. Drawing on the strength model of self-control (Baumeister and Heatherton 1996, Psychological Inquiry 7:1-15), the present paper aims to shed light on impulsive buying by exploring the impact of enhancement of self-control as a result of repeated physical and cognitive self-control exercises over time. The findings showed that these self-control exercises reduced impulse buying urges. Directions for future research are discussed.
