Abstract
Background: In a society of the fast growing consumerism, impulsive buying has become a typical behavior that causes financial havoc. The practice of mindfulness, or being nonjudgmentally in the present moment, has been linked to better self-regulation and emotional regulation. The other important factor for financial well-being is financial self-efficacy- believing in your ability to do what is necessary to manage your finances. Indeed, relatively few investigations have examined how mindfulness is associated with impulsive buying and financial self-efficacy, especially in collectivist cultural society. Objective: The objective of this research was to find out the effect of mindfulness on impulsive buying and financial self-efficacy among adults. Methods: A groups of 400 adult individuals (200 males and 200 females) were recruited to a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study where standardized tools such as the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), the Impulse Buying Scale (IBS) and the Financial Self-Efficacy Scale (FSES) were used. Data was analyzed using Pearson correlation and independent t-tests. Results: According to the results, there was a positive and meaningful correlation between mindfulness and financial self-efficacy (r =. 604, p <. 01) as well as between mindfulness and impulsive buying (r =. 305, p <. 01). Self-efficacy was also associated positively with impulsive buying (r =. 309, p <. 01). Sex differences indicated that girls reported significantly higher scores in the three variables than boys. Conclusion: The findings provide a culturally contingent view on the role of mindfulness, which appears to increase financial self-efficacy and which is also associated with impulsive buying in particular conditions. Speaking to these results, culturally-tailored interventions that promote mindfulness over behavioural economics can be seen as an effective way of curbing heedless financial behaviour.
