The paper also intends to confirm the results obtained in previous studies carried out in the USA, applying their measure instruments to a sample of young adult Portuguese consumers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>The authors performed a quantitative analysis by means of a personal survey using a sample of Portuguese undergraduate students. Principal axis factoring and cluster analysis were carried out to identify main dimensions in shopping motivations and categorize shopper groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper identifies seven shopping dimensions: \u201cPleasure and gratification shopping\u201d, \u201cIdea Shopping\u201d, \u201cSocial Shopping\u201d, \u201cRole shopping\u201d, \u201cValue Shopping\u201d, \u201cAchievement\u201d and \u201cEfficiency\u201d. Based on these factors, the paper finds five groups of consumers: \u201cSocial shopper\u201d, \u201cDynamic Shopper\u201d, \u201cPragmatic Shopper\u201d, \u201cModerate shopper\u201d and \u201cInvolved Shopper\u201d. The findings on the whole confirm the results obtained in previous studies carried out in the USA. This fact contributes to the validation of this motivations framework showing its application on different contexts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper may contribute to the knowledge of the South European consumer, and states some implications for the international retail chains that work, or intend to work, in this region.
