Dr. Harnish's research interest focuses on the intersection between attitudes, consumer behavior, the self and affect (or emotion). He is particularly interested in how beliefs impact the products purchased.

Currently, Dr. Harnish is exploring various correlates of compulsive buying.  Additionally, his research is focusing on testing a model to explain various types of aberrant consumer behavior.
