Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether hedonic motives and browsing affect impulse buying and examine the role of browsing as a mediator between hedonic motives and impulse buying.In this context, a model was proposed and tested on a sample of customers who made an impulse purchase in Ankara. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the components of hedonic shopping motives such as adventure shopping, gratification shopping, role shopping, value shopping, social shopping, and idea shopping. Moreover, the results of the regression analysis showed that hedonic motives and its dimensions such as adventure, gratification, and idea have a positive impact on impulse buying. Consumers’ browsing behaviorinfluenced impulse buying positively. The mediating role of browsing between hedonic motives and impulse buyingwas also identified.
