“…Wells and Gubar, 1966;Murphy and Staples, 1979;and Gilly and Ennis, 1982), agreement exists on one central idea that each family progresses through a number of distinct stages from point of formation to death of both spouses (Murphy and Staples, 1979). The classification in this paper demonstrates six distinct phases in the household life cycle, from young single to older single, which is consistent with previous research using traditional household life cycle.…”

This research investigates changes in brand loyalty as households pass from one stage of the household life cycle to another. Analysing 45 brands in three consumer product categories in the UK, we find that the changes follow a U shape pattern. Brand loyalty declines as households shift from the young single stage to the young couple and the young family stage, remains relatively lower through the older family stage, and then increases at the post family and older single stages.

“… Many researchers have investigated how household life cycle relates to consumer's economic behavior (e.g., [81,82]). The stage of a family's life cycle-typically defined as a combination of criteria such as family members' age, marital status, and family size/type-appears to be one of the strongest predictors of household energy consumption (for reviews, see [50,55,75]).…”

Abstract:This article provides a comprehensive review of theory and research on the individual-level predictors of household energy usage. Drawing on literature from across the social sciences, we examine two broad categories of variables that have been identified as potentially important for explaining variability in energy consumption and conservation: socio-demographic factors (e.g., income, employment status, dwelling type/size, home ownership, household size, stage of family life cycle) and psychological factors (e.g., beliefs and attitudes, motives and intentions, perceived behavioral control, cost-benefit appraisals, personal and social norms). Despite an expanding literature, we find that empirical evidence of the impact of these variables has been far from consistent and conclusive to date. Such inconsistency poses challenges for drawing generalizable conclusions, and underscores the complexity of consumer behavior in this domain. In this article, we propose that a multitude of factors-whether directly, indirectly, or in interaction-influence how householders consume and conserve energy. Theory, research and practice can be greatly advanced by understanding what these factors are, and how, when, where, why and for whom they operate. We conclude by outlining some important practical implications for policymakers and directions for future research.

“…In a far-reaching study, Wells and Gubar (1966) archived particular contrasts in utilization designs related to different phases of advancement in the family. Since that time, a few changed details of the life cycle idea have been proposed (Murphy and Staples 1979;Norton 1974;Duvall 1971). The Murphy and Staples variant has been the just a single to create much support in the field because of its capacity to characterize bigger rates of families.…”
