Popis: Nowadays, purchase decision making is much more complicated and even more important than in the past. Consumers’ decision-making style is a constant and effective pattern of responses influenced by culture. National culture and subcultures have significant impacts on consumers' values, attitudes and decision making. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of subcultures on consumers' decision-making styles in Tabriz and Sanandaj. In terms of data collection and analysis, the research method is descriptive and correlational. To test the research hypotheses, structural equation modeling and Amos22 are used. The results show a difference between the consumers in Tabriz and those in Sanandaj in terms of the relationships among brand loyalty, brand sensitivity and hedonic shopping styles.
