Abstract
This study explores the mechanism which triggers consumer's immediate gratification behavior. It is proposed that consumer's expectation of meaningful life transformation by acquisition of a product causes her perception of product hedonic and utilitarian value, which can further predict immediate gratification. The positive impact of perception of hedonic value on immediate gratification can be mediated by price sensitivity and moderated by materialism level. The structural model is established for further empirical analysis with PLSSEM approach. The model suggests different domain of transformation expectation may have conflicting impact on immediate gratification.
