| Annotation | This study examines the characteristics that best distinguish those older people who are uninterested in spending on consumer products from those who choose product specific preferences. Discriminant function analyses show that age best distinguishes the non-interested group from the others, supporting previous research. Results confirm that heterogeneity among older people documented in areas such as health and social characteristics extends to their consumption preferences. Diversity in spending preferences can be understood in terms of a desire to enhance quality of life. |
