Influence of attributional style, anger, and self-control on college students’ impulsive consumption
These findings indicate that optimistic attributional styles, anger induction, and high self-control significantly inhibit impulsive consumption among college students. These results provide novel theoretical insights into the psychological mechanisms underlying impulsive consumption in this population and offer empirical support for targeted psychological interventions in consumer behavior.
