“…The dynamic and transitional nature of these narratives leads the individual down different pathways in response to a variety of interactional demands. These findings corroborate and broaden recent literature on how wellbeing is achieved through different personal "growth stories" driven by intrinsic or extrinsic rewards (Bauer et al 2008), and prior work that emphasizes the why of consumption for understanding managing the self in everyday interaction (Askegaard et al 2002;Thompson and Hirschman 1995;Tian and Belk 2005).…”

Through the lens of consumption, this study contributes to understanding the link between self and everyday interactions by identifying and developing a typology of wellbeing challenges and how these are managed in a variety of social contexts. Fifteen phenomenological interviews revealed a series of strategy narratives through which individuals pursue wellbeing within their web of social encounters. These strategy narratives combine in a series of pathways that range from harmonious (e.g., enhancement) to incongruous (e.g., concealment) in individuals' efforts to manage challenges to personal wellbeing. Constructing a typology from these pathways, the research findings pose both opportunities and challenges for social marketers to promote consumers' positive experiences in the marketplace.

“…Discussions of how consumers acquire, clean, store, groom, and display consumption objects are found in several theoretical streams of consumer research (e.g., Coupland, 2005;Denegri-Knott & Molesworth, 2009;Fournier, 1998;Hill & Stamey, 1990;Richins, 1994aRichins, , 1994bTian & Belk, 2005). Some of this research focuses on how objects become meaningful possessions through these practices, emphasizing that possessions may be singularized, sacred, materialized, and loved, as consumers interact with them (e.g., Ahuvia, 2015;Belk, Wallendorf & Sherry, 1989;Epp & Price, 2010).…”

Running head: Materials matter: The curatorial practices of collectors Structured Abstract PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the interplay between the curatorial practices of consumers as collectors and the materiality of the collected objects. In particular, this study explores how the material substances of collected objects shapes curatorial practices and how the ongoing use of the collected objects challenges curatorial practices. Methodology/approachTaking advantage of the publicization of once-private collections on social media, we collect 111 YouTube videos created by plastic shoe aficionados. Drawing from visual anthropology and theorizations of materiality, we analyze consumer interactions with the objects they collect. Findings This study's findings elucidate consumers' interactions with the material substances of the objects they collect and demonstrate how these interactions shape the ways in which consumers curate their collections, including how they wear, care for, catalog, and display the collected objects. Research implicationsOur findings have implications for theorization on consumer collections, consumer identity, and consumer participation in brand communities and are relevant for consumer researchers who study the interactions and relationships between consumers and consumption objects. Originality/value of paper This study is the first to re-examine consumers as collectors to extend and update consumer research on the curatorial practices of physical, wearable collectibles. This study sets the foundations for further research to advance our understanding of consumers as collectors as well as to illuminate other theories and aspects of consumer research that consider consumerobject interactions.

“…Não obstante, nota-se que a personalidade define as características inerentes à forma de ser do indivíduo, que por sua vez não estão dissociadas dos padrões e motivações para compra e 106 posse dos produtos (TIAN;BELK, 2005). Essa relação é descrita em maior profundidade na seção a seguir.…”

ResumoA personalidade, no estudo do comportamento do consumidor, tem-se mostrado um construto importante, mas pouco compreendido e utilizado nas pesquisas da área. Esse construto, enquanto preditor do comportamento, pode estar relacionado com a predisposição à lealdade em determinadas situações. Considerando a proposta de utilização da personalidade juntamente com variáveis comportamentais do indivíduo, este artigo, através do emprego da teoria dos traços de personalidade e do modelo metateórico de motivação e personalidade (modelo 3M) proposto por Mowen (2000), discute a possível ligação entre a personalidade do indivíduo e seu comportamento de lealdade. Para tanto, é feita uma revisão da literatura a respeito dos dois principais construtos (personalidade e lealdade), procurando evidenciar suas ligações, ao mesmo tempo em que são geradas proposições de pesquisa levando em conta as relações hierárquicas que possam existir entre esses construtos. Palavras-chave:Personalidade; Comportamento do consumidor; Lealdade; Modelo 3M. Abstract Personality, in Consumer Behavior studies, has been an important construct, though little understood and rarely used in research. The construct, while predicting behavior, may be related with a predisposition to loyalty on certain situations. Considering the proposal of using the individual's personality together with behavioral variables, this article discusses a possible link between personality and loyalty behavior, through the use of the personality traits theory and the Motivation and Personality Meta-Theoretical Model (3M Model) proposed by Mowen (2000). For such, a literature review concerning the two main constructs (personality and loyalty) is carried out, aimed at highlighting their links. Proposals for research are presented, taking into account eventual hierarchical relations between those constructs.
