Abstract: | This paper explores shopping dependence in the context of fashion clothing consumption. Male consumers are considered, with sexual orientation employed as an indicator of behaviour. Data from a survey of 225 homosexual (here as: gay) and 225 heterosexual (here as: htr.) U.K. males suggest that gay males display clothes shopping dependence, and at a level that is significantly stronger than for htr. males. Younger males show a greater tendency to display such behaviour, with dependence declining with age for both groups. |
