Frontiers of Social Psychology

Arie W. Kruglanski 、 Joseph P. Forgas

Frontiers of Social Psychology is a new series of domain-specific

handbooks. The purpose of each volume is to provide readers with a

cutting-edge overview of the most recent theoretical, methodological, and

practical developments in a substantive area of social psychology, in

greater depth than is possible in general social psychology handbooks.

The editors and contributors are all internationally renowned scholars

whose work is at the cutting-edge of research.

Scholarly, yet accessible, the volumes in the Frontiers series are an

essential resource for senior undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers,

and practitioners, and are suitable as texts in advanced courses in specific

subareas of social psychology.

Some Social Asp ects of Living in a Consumer Society

The following sketches will illustrate that in a consumer society

much of the behavior studied by social psychologists relates to consumer

stimuli and consumer behavior. Thus, the consumer context provides a

rich field for the study of social phenomena and behavior.

Consumer Decisions Are Ubiquitous

Whether we are in the supermarket or not, we are constantly making

consumer decisions. We enroll in gyms, use our frequent-flyer miles for a

vacation resort, buy health care, choose a restaurant, skip dessert for a

healthier lifestyle. In fact, most of our daily decisions do not involve

existential decisions such as whom to marry or whether to have children

or not, but whether to have tea or coffee, use our credit card or pay cash,

or other seemingly trivial decisions. Moreover, many of our daily

(consumer) behaviors do not even require intentional decisions. Rather,

they may be habitual, such as switching to CNN to get the news or

accessing Google when looking up some information. A typical day of a

typical person is filled with countless minor consumer decisions or the

consequences of previous decisions, starting with the brand of toothpaste

in the morning to choosing a movie after work.

Consumer Choices Fulfill a Social-Identity Function

Although for most people being a consumer may not be central to

their identity, many of their consumer decisions are nevertheless highly

identity-relevant insofar as they correspond to a larger set of values and

beliefs and express important aspects of the self. Eating a vegetarian diet

because one does not want to endorse cruelty to animals and boycotting

clothes potentially made by child laborers are some examples. Some

people buy a Prius out of environmental concerns; others boycott

Japanese cars — such as the Prius — in order to help the local car
