Abstract—The hierarchical relationships of personality traits
related to online buying impulsiveness were empirically
examined. The results show that three elemental traits -
agreeableness, need for arousal, and need for material - are
predictive of online buying impulsiveness. Middle level trait of
value consciousness is mediating the effect of conscientiousness
and negatively associated with the dependent variable.
