TY - JOUR T1 - I Know, But I'd Rather Be Beautiful: The Impact of Self-esteem, Narcissism, Weight, and Knowledge on Addictive Tanning Behavior in Millennials JF - Journal of Consumer Affairs Y1 - 2018 A1 - Watson,Amy A1 - Zank,Gail A1 - Turri,Anna M. KW - Marketing KW - OSU-Cascades AB - This research examines consumers’ current level of sun protection knowledge and prevention, tanning motivation, and behavior. This baseline information provides a clearer understanding of actual consumer behavior and can be used to determine what knowledge deficits exist so that future research, educational materials, and communication efforts can be tailored to address those more directly. Additionally,the relationships between knowledge, self-esteem, and narcissism are explored. Results show that knowledge has no impact on addictive tanning behavior, self-esteem is negatively correlated, and narcissism is fully mediated by appearance motivation. Implications, potential regulatory, and communication efforts are discussed. CY - Medford, MA VL - 52 UR - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com CP - 1 U2 - a U4 - 144721881088 ID - 144721881088 ER -
