Bu çalışma, romantik ilişkilerde bağlanma boyutlarının tüketici davranışları üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Özellikle, romantik ilişki içinde bulunan Y ve Z kuşağı kadınlarının dürtüsel satın alma eğilimleri üzerinde yetişkin bağlanma boyutlarının (bağlanma kaygısı ve bağlanma kaçınması) etkisi araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada çevrim içi anket yöntemi kullanılmış ve Türkiye’de yaşayan Y ve Z kuşağına mensup 385 kadından kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle veri toplanmıştır. Analizlerde katılımcıların yaşı ve mevcut romantik ilişkilerinin süresi kontrol değişkeni olarak ele alınarak hiyerarşik regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, bağlanma kaygısının katılımcıların dürtüsel satın alma davranışını anlamlı biçimde etkilediğini, ancak bağlanma kaçınmasının bu davranış üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin bulunmadığını göstermektedir. Sonuçlar, yüksek düzeyde bağlanma kaygısına sahip bireylerin ilişkisel stresle başa çıkmak veya öz değerlerini güçlendirmek amacıyla dürtüsel satın alma davranışına başvurabileceklerini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bulgular, pazarlamacıların özellikle genç yetişkinlerde görülen kompulsif veya dürtüsel tüketici davranışlarını ele alırken bağlanma güvenliğinin rolünü dikkate almaları gerektiğini göstermektedir.
