Abstract
Intensive interviews with 234 new car buyers reveal that those with general self-confidence tend to have high specific self-confidence in their car buying ability. These two factors combine to influence consumer use of friends as purchase helpers. Consumers and their purchase helpers form a buying team whose specific self-confidence is curvilinearly related to persuasibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
