Impulsive buying has become an important economic phenomenon due to the availability of credit cards, the existence of online shopping options, and the spread of shopping mall culture. This study investigates the effects of social media, hedonic consumption and conscientiousness on the impulsive buying behaviour of consumers in the city of Ankara, Turkey. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with 784 customers in 14 shopping centers. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to validate the proposed model.
