AB  - Considers the economic aspects of food
consumption patterns by looking at the relationship
between value structures and personality profiles
as a means for assessing consumers′ basic need
orientations, and at eating behaviour as a
compensatory strategy when other‐than‐physiological
needs are frustrated. Seeks to
demonstrate that the concept of values is a
promising tool for ascertaining the conditions under
which consumer behaviour phenomena might occur.
Introduces the concepts of values and compensatory
eating behaviour in order to demonstrate their
relevance for consumer behaviour research, and
describes how these concepts can be measured.
Presents some first results from an empirical study,
conducted in West Germany, and concludes with
some remarks on the implications of its findings.
