Tsai Chen and Ming-Chang Lee

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.
