This study examines gender differences in impulse purchases. It finds that:
1) Women are more likely to make impulse purchases of items that express identity or emotion, like clothing and jewelry, while men prefer functional items like electronics and sports gear.
2) When considering impulse purchases, women's thoughts focus more on mood, enjoyment and other people, while men emphasize functionality and personal identity.
3) Both gender and product type influence the factors considered in impulse buying, with identity and emotion playing a bigger role for typical women's impulse items than more utilitarian men's purchases.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Gender identity and material symbols: Objects and
decision considerations in impulse purchases
Helga Dittmar , Jane Beattie , Susanne Friese

2012. 03. 30
2. Introduction
• “ Reminder impulse buying"
• E . g . Shopper remembers the need for an
essential item on seeing it in the shop
• “Pure impulse buying"
• E.g. A novelty or escape purchase which breaks
the normal buying pattern.
3. Introduction
Basic House
Equipments~~~
VS
Fashionable
Clothes!!!
5. Economic models
• A high degree of post-purchase regret (Hoch and
Loewenstein, 1991; Rook, 1987).
• Discounting model (Strotz, 1956).
• -The benefits of the desired object at the point of imminent
purchase outweigh the (future) problem of paying the bill
• Stochastic preference model (Winston,1980`).
• -Myopic set
• -Farsighted set
6. Consumer behaviour
• Goods that are likely to be bought impulsively
(Bellenger et al., 1978).
• Regarding a purchase as impulsive if it was not
on the buyer's original shopping list (Kollat
and Willet, 1969)
8. Social constructionist theory
• Goods as an expression of self-identity (e.g.,
Dittmar, 1992; Lunt and Livingstone, 1992).
• The role of 'perceived social image benefits'
(Elliott, 1994)
• “Extending the self“ ( Belk , 1988)
• “Idealized people associated with[the good]..."
(Wright et al., 1992, p. 312)
9. Gender and material possessions
• Women tend to value emotional and symbolic
possessions, while men favour functional and
leisure items (Csikszentmihalyi and Rochberg-
Halton,1981)
• Women gave more emotional and relationship-
oriented reasons, while men's had a more
functional, instrumental and activity-related
focus (Dittmar, 1989).
10. • Male
• -Self-oriented, activity-centred identity
construction
• Female
• -Other-oriented, relationship-centred identity
construction
12. Experimental hypotheses
• H1: Some products are more likely to be bought
on pure impulse than others. In particular,
identity-relevant products are more likely to be
high impulse items than are purely functional
goods.
• H2 : Men and women are likely to purchase
different types of object on pure impulse. Men's
impulse purchases may be more oriented
towards leisure, while women's may be more
emotional and other-oriented.
13. Experimental hypotheses
• H3: Different 'types of considerations are
applied to goods often bought on impulse as
compared to goods hardly ever bought on
impulse, with identity-concerns and emotional
aspects important for typical impulse goods.
• H4: Men and women may have different types
of considerations when purchasing an object
on pure impulse, with men's concerns being
mainly instrumental, and women's being
mainly emotional and other-oriented.

equipment)

often bought on impulse as compared to goods hardly
ever bought on impulse(F(5,34) = 160.38; p < 0.00001).

27. • Men:
• utility, personal identity
• Women:
• mood and enjoyment
• F(1,38)= 4.85; p <0.05
