- The model according to which impulsive purchase is the result of spontaneously arising affective reaction in situation when cognitive resources necessary for processing information about goods are limited is verifi ed. Conditions of purchasers choice resulting in cognitive recourses limitedness were studied in three experiments; subjects were asked to choose products in real shop. It was revealed that participants experience more strong purchasing impulses and/or frequently perform impulsive purchases when they did not fi nd products with necessary characteristics or with desired brands in the shop (experiment 1, n = 52); when there were enough variants of necessary product or these variants were relatively unknown to them (experiment 2, n = 52); when it was important to choose the best product and they were certain about their ability to make a right choice (experiment 3, n = 52).
