To study the role of venturesomeness in new product purchase, lifestyle items regarding new products were collected from a sample of students using the Nominal Group Technique. The items were combined in a questionnaire with a list of new products and Malhotra's self-concept scale and given to a second sample of students. Correlations of scores on the lifestyle statements with the number of new products purchased confirms that venturesomeness plays a role in innovative behavior. The more venturesome subjects saw themselves as excitable, indulgent, informal, liberal, vain, and colorful. Some early purchasers desire more information before they purchase than others. These individuals saw themselves as organized and rational.
