Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal, v31 n1 p50-77 Sep 2002

Male (n=69) and female (n=68) adolescents spent similar amounts on clothing with similar conformity, sexual attractiveness, and recognition motivations. Females shopped significantly more often and were more influenced by friends and magazines. There were significant differences between impulse buyers and others in shopping frequency, expenditure, motivation, information sources, and store selection. (Contains 58 references.) (SK)
