Abstract

This commentary underscores the integrative nature of the identity‐based motivation model (Oyserman, D. (2009). Identity‐based motivation: Implications for action‐readiness, procedural‐readiness, and consumer behavior. Journal of Consumer Psychology, 19(3) (this issue)). We situate the model within existing literatures in psychology and consumer behavior, and illustrate its novel elements with research examples. Special attention is devoted to, 1) how product‐ and brand‐based affordances constrain identity‐based motivation processes and, 2) the mindsets and action tendencies that can be triggered by specific cultural identities in pursuit of consumer goals. Future opportunities are suggested for researching the antecedents of product meanings and relevant identities.

## Abstract Psychology's study of the self‐concept has generated numerous paradigms with different underlying assumptions.

## Abstract This paper proposes that dominant theories of human motivation rest on the notion of salient unmet needs. Motivational theories, represented by biological instinct theories (__thesis__) and social cognitive theories (__antithesis__), are now showing signs of __synthesis__ within the dom
