Title: Emocions i consum. Emocions en el consum de rebaixes
Author: Vidal López, Miquel

Abstract: This work aims to find out the emotions linked to a specific consumption context (sales) and the impact they can have on consumer behaviors. After briefly reviewing the sociology of emotions and treating, in more depth, the relationships of emotions with modern consumption, the results of a qualitative investigation (developed through semi-structured interviews) is analyzed. Among the structural emotions of consumption (enunciated by Eva Illouz), it has been found that the search for enthusiasm is a motivator of consumption (especially given the boredom that can cause the absence of new products), and that the dynamics of anxiety-self-esteem can also motivate consumption. Likewise, although rebellion is not shown spontaneously, it is perceived that consumption can help to unveil the true self. Other emotions that can stop consumption (guilt and stress) have been detected. Finally, satisfaction due to the positive self-image generated by saving has been raised as a specific emotion in the context of sales.
