Mall atmospherics: The interaction effects of the mall environment on shopping behavior
Article Abstract:
The moderating effects of ambient odors on shoppers' emotions, perceptions of the retail environment, and perceptions of product quality under various levels of retail density are investigated. Ambient odors positively influence shoppers perceptions only under the medium retail density condition and a moderate incongruity level is more likely to trigger a favorable evaluation of the situation (the shopping experience), object (the products sold), or the person (the salesclerks).
