Abstract

Susceptibility to interpersonal influence is described as having two dimensions—normative and informational. We examined the effects of innovativeness and attention to social comparison information on these dimensions. We hypothesized that innovativeness would negatively affect both types of social influence and that attention to social comparison information would positively affect them. Data from 305 student participants were used in a structural equation model containing these hypotheses, which fit the data well. One surprise emerged from the analysis: innovativeness was positively related to informational influence. The findings suggest that innovativeness is associated with susceptibility to informational influence despite a resistance to normative influence.

The Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice is devoted to the publication of peer-reviewed articles addressing substantive, managerial issues in marketing. In the context of developing, enhancing, and disseminating marketing knowledge, JMTP publishes both conceptual and empirical work, so long as the work provides strong implications for the managerial practice of marketing. Unlike other marketing journals that may be more focused on specific methodological approaches, deal with theoretical issues without regard to application, or represent various subfields of marketing, JMTP is positioned as a general marketing journal affording a quality outlet for more managerially-oriented research across the scope of the field.

Abstract

A conceptual framework is presented that incorporates three constructs highly relevant to consumer behavior-innovativeness, novelty seeking, and consumer creativity. A fourth construct, role accumulation, is also discussed. A model of the relational linkages among these constructs is developed, together with their definitions and a methodology to develop operational measures. Research implications and applications of this conceptual framework are discussed.
