Abstract

This research examines the novel construct of anticipated surprises, defined as the deliberate purchase and anticipation of surprise items. We draw on research in musicology to pursue an analysis of the antecedents of anticipated surprises, seeking to extend the theory of anticipation in consumer behavior.
