Abstract

The "Girl Math" trend has become widespread and viral, seemingly supporting the idea that women tend to be impulsive when shopping. This research discusses the phenomenon in the context of mental accounting. This research aims to construct a conceptual model of girl math from the mental accounting perspective. This research uses the interpretivism paradigm to explore the meaning of the reality being studied through the triangulation of interview methods, observation, and information analysis through social media, the internet, and other relevant articles. This study found that almost all-girl math trends encourage impulsive buying behavior. They have a logic and mental accounting that differ from the general rational standards. Girl math has its own rationalization. The mindset of girls math occurs due to internal and external factors. Internal factors include emotions, the availability of economic resources, and self-control. External factors include community roles, product attraction, and media framing. Girl math could become another truth, but it is merely the truth of a minority.
