Sport fans’ curiosity and impulsive buying: mediation of social media use intensity by Chen-Yueh Chen, Ya-Lun Chou, Yi-Hsiu Lin, Yen-Kuang Lin

“…Grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theory, this study examines how social media use intensity mediates the relationship between sports fans' curiosity and impulsive buying behavior.MethodsThe study sampled 623 Taiwanese sports fans, including baseball and basketball enthusiasts, to investigate these relationships. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to test the proposed hypotheses, focusing on the mediating effect of social media use intensity.ResultsThe results indicate that social media use intensity fully mediates the relationship between sports fans' curiosity and impulsive buying tendencies. …”
