Impulsiveness as a creative and playful process of discovery: a study on its relationship with treasure hunting, serendipity, and bricolage in second-hand markets

Abstract
The literature on buying impulsiveness has overlooked that impulsiveness can be part of a creative and playful process of discovery. This study addresses this gap by investigating the attitudes of shoppers who experience impulsiveness during the practice of bricolage in second-hand markets. With an online survey and structural equation modeling, we analyzed data from 775 shoppers and found that treasure hunting attitudes and serendipity awareness trigger impulsiveness in second-hand markets, both of which are antecedents of the creative processes involved in bricolage behavior. We contribute to the extant literature by offering a parsimonious explanatory model for how impulsiveness, treasure hunting, serendipity, and bricolage behavior can be part of a creative and playful process of consumption, calling for a positive view on impulsiveness rather than the mostly negative one.
