Paperback : $110.00
For consumer behaviour courses.
Consumer Behavior: Buying, Having, and Being, Global Edition covers all of the processes involved when we select, purchase, use or dispose of products, services, ideas or experiences. It investigates the many factors that affect our consumption choices (and non-choices), especially in the era of social media and the digital age. Since we're all consumers, many of the topics have both professional and personal relevance, making it easy to apply the theories outside of class.
Featuring new co-author, Cristel Antonia Russell, the 14th Edition has been significantly revised to elevate its flow, focus, intentionality, freshness and attention to practice.

Her journal articles are widely cited and she ranks amongst the world's most prolific consumer researchers.
Professor Russell's research spans many facets of consumer behavior and draws on multiple methodological approaches. She uses experiments with eye-tracking and biometric measures to study the psychological processes of attention, memory and persuasion in the context of advertising messages and those embedded in entertainment such as product placements. She researches the social influences of celebrities and of traditional and social media on young audiences with a variety of approaches including field studies and large national surveys. She uses in-depth interviews and other qualitative techniques to explain, among many things, how consumers engage with brands, how they relate to new technologies, or why they re-watch movies or reread books.
Professor Russell's research on the influence of marketing on youth has received funding from the United States' National Institutes of Health and France's Institut National du Cancer. She also collaborates with military research institutes to study problematic consumption amongst soldiers and veterans. Her interdisciplinary research with a focus on implementable policy solutions earned her a Marie Curie Fellowship from the European Union for a project on media literacy for at-risk youth.
