Journal of Consumer Affairs, 2022, vol. 56, issue 1, 5-14

Abstract: This article presents the immense impact that pandemics can have specifically on consumers' mental well‐being, extending many of the well‐being topics examined in this special issue on pandemics and consumer well‐being. Avenues for future research in the area are suggested, with expanded discussion and future research suggestions related to four consumer characteristics including three areas associated with negative mental well‐being (parenthood, suffering with chronic illness, aging, and family) as well as another characteristic associated with positive mental well‐being (religion). The article concludes with a pressing call to action for academics and others to step up to the purpose in their careers and make a difference in the world for good in relation to consumers' mental well‐being.
