I. INTRODUCTION
Consumers across the globe are looking at products and brands through a new
lens. The challenges facing the world right now are shaking up global economies,
pushing healthcare systems to their limits, and upheaving people’s daily lives.
Currently, more than one-third of the world’s population is under some form of
lockdown. One very noticeable impact of the outbreak is its influence on how and
what people purchase. This is having a knock-on effect on various industries and
key groups.
Our research indicates that new habits formed now and how self-fulfillment and
basic needs will be differ Before and during the COVID-19 crisis and how does
the pandemic affect their buying behavior. Even as this crisis continues to evolve,
by exploring the changes that are happening now, we can consider what consumer
goods businesses should do today to prepare for what’s next.

The Covid-19 has a lot of effects in our economy specially the Buying
behavior of the customers in this research the researchers will discuss about the
newly habits that are formed during Covid-19, how self-fulfillment and basic
needs will be differ their buying behavior before and during covid-19 and how
does Covid-19 affects their buying behavior. According to Accenture (2020)
“Consumers are deeply concerned about the impact of COVID-19, both from a
health and economic perspective. People are responding in a variety of ways and
have differing attitudes, behaviors and purchasing habits.” People across the globe
is fearing because of the Covid-19 crisis some people don’t want to go out to buy
their things because of the pandemic and it cause to change their buying habits
unlike before the Covid-19 where the people is enjoying buying their needs where
ever they want . Now there are new habits that are formed during Covid-19 that
we need to know. Between the Self-fulfillment and the basic needs we need to
know what is difference of them before and during the pandemic.
The researchers also need to know how the pandemic will affect the
buying behavior of the consumers. According to Accenture (2020) “People across
the globe are afraid as they strive to adapt to a new normal. Fear is running high
as individuals contemplate what this crisis means for them, but more significantly,
what it means for their families and friends, and the society at large.” The
pandemic greatly impact the buying behavior of the customers because they are
afraid of the virus. The researcher intended to know how the people are
responding in the pandemic.
decided to use this because it is more reliable and objective also it uses statistics
to generalize the research findings about the topic.
I. The Variables
The problem of our study is about the Covid-19 pandemic Covid-19 is a
virus that causes mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected
person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the
air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces and it will affect the buying behavior of
the customers the buying behavior is the study of individuals, groups, or
organizations and all the activities associated with the purchase, use and disposal
of goods and services, and how the consumer's emotions, attitudes and
preferences affect buying behavior. The Covid-19 may affect the different habits
of the customers from before and during the pandemic that may change their
buying behavior.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread and ravage nations globally, its
impact on mental and psychosocial health is also receiving considerable attention.
Majority of the available literature has focused on common mental health sequel
such as depression, anxiety, stress, substance use, loneliness and its impact in
general population as well as vulnerable groups such as frontline health care
workers, homeless, elderly and pregnant women (Kar et al., 2020)

The National effects of Covid-19 in buying behavior of the customer
according to Nielsen Retail Intelligence managing director Patrick Cua “With
mobility and mass gathering restrictions still in effect, Filipino consumers will
continue adapting to the homebody economy and will extend to how they

celebrate Christmas during the pandemic,” he said. “With cooking being central
to festivities we predict a growth in baking and food category this year. The first
is made up of “constrained and restricted” consumers who have suffered income
losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, have less money to spend, and also
have less freedom to physically congregate and shop for their holiday needs due
to local restrictions to travel, business openings and social interaction.
A second group is composed of “constrained but free” consumers who have also
suffered income loss, and were likely to have a savings mindset as they prepare
for the festive season.
C. Local
According to Sheth (2020) Consumers are learning to improvise and learn new
habits. For example, consumers cannot go to the store, so the store comes to
home. While consumers go back to old habits, it is likely that they will be
modified by new regulations and procedures in the way consumers shop and buy
products and services. New habits will also emerge by technology advances,
changing demographics and innovative ways consumers have learned to cope
with blurring the work, leisure, and education boundaries. Here in Muntinlupa the
people learn how to cope with the pandemic that change the their buying behavior

formed beyond the pandemic. The researchers are not intended to explore how
does Covid-19 affects the product that are being sold in the market. We only
exploring about the buying behavior and how Covid-19 does affect it. The
respondents that are included in our study is the class ICT-1203 Male and Female
from Muntinlupa National High-School Main. The respondents that not included
in our study are the Teachers and the School staff.
1. Students - It will help them to know about the effects of Covid-19 in our
economy and how Covid-19 change the buying behavior of consumers. It will
benefit them for being alert about how Covid-19 change the world. Thus it will
change them to perform well in our particular situation they will know how to
handle the situation during the Covid-19 pandemic.
2. Teachers- This study will help them to know more about the buying behaviors
and to know the habits that are formed during the Covid-19 crisis and to be much
more alert for what is happening.
4. Income: People belonging to high income group having high disposable income
can be assumed to be more impulsive buyer as compared to people with low
disposable income. However no significant relationship between impulsive

buying & income was found by Ghani et al. (2011), Yang et al. (2011), Woods
(1998) and Gutierrez (2004)
5. Age: Age is one of the imperative factors that influence impulsive shopping. It
has been observed that younger shoppers are more impulsive as compared to elder
ones. However in developing countries like Pakistan where younger generation
due to lack of independent source of income is very much dependent on their
family no such trend can be observed.

that identifies what he need or desire makes a purchase and then disposes of the
product consumption process before Covid-19 a person always focus for what he
desires than he need.
No two of them are the same, as everyone is influenced by different internal and
external factors which form the consumer behaviour. Consumer behaviour is an
important and constant decision-making process of searching, purchasing, using,
evaluating, and disposing of products and services (Valaskova et al., 2015).
According to et al the two people are same as if everyone is influenced by
different internal and external factors which form the consumer behavior like in
this situation we all have a same buying behavior some of people doing online
shopping because they feared in the outside because of the Virus.

offers during crisis which tends to continue post-crisis where people buy simpler
offering with great value. The study also reported that even the rich people, post-
crisis expressed dissatisfaction with excess consumption and focused on recycle
and teach their children simple and traditional values.
According to Amalia et al. (2012) in their study explained that people are not the
same and not all the people have the same perception about a situation with
negative effects like economic or any other crisis. In crisis times, new trends in
consumer behaviour emerge. The most important factors which model the
consumer’s behaviour in crisis are risk attitude and risk perception. Risk attitude
reflects consumer’s interpretation concerning to the risk content and how much he
or she dislikes the content of that risk. Risk perception reflects the interpretation
of the consumer of the chance of being exposed to the risk content

Gender has specific influence on impulse buying such as women tend to be more
impulsive than men (Giraud, 2001). If consumers are in a good mood, they tend to
reward themselves more generously and tend to be more impulsive (Giraud,
2001).
the majority of the Indian population can be featured as young & working class
having higher purchasing power.
According to findings of Campos (2020) The Neilsen study, which was presented
during the webinar “Filipino Consumer Behavior and Retail Updates on COVID-
19”, revealed the distinction between the so-called “insulated shopper” and
“constrained shopper”. “While many will continue to stay at home, the impact
will not be equal. There are some opportunities for those who still have the money
to spend,” said John Patrick Cua, managing director of Nielsen’s retail
intelligence business for Philippines, Vietnam and Myanmar.The study tagged
insulated shoppers as those who managed to retain the job they have with
sustained, stable income and with money to spare.“They tend to compensate for
out-of-house experience with in-house activities like eating, working, entertaining
and grooming within their very homes. Compensation for what they miss from the
outside are dealt by scaling up in discretionary snacks, treats and beverages and
still have spare for personal grooming,” Cua said.

Constrained shoppers are workers who lost their jobs, those faced with the
challenges of compressed income, labor relocation, debt default and those
subsisting on the basics with limited or no capability for small luxuries, at all.
Synthesis
The Researchers findings that synthesized here are highly relevant in our
research. We are planning to know more about the consumers because the more
time an individual has, the longer time he or she spends browsing the shopping
environment that may help us to find the findings about how Covid-19 affects the
buying behavior. We are specifically only choosing 30 of our respondents in our
particular field that we choose specially with their gender to know much more
how the pandemic impact by their gender in their buying behavior. Also we want
to know more about how self-fulfillment and basic needs will be differ from
before and during the pandemic as well because they are towards shopping
because of the entertainment that can be derived out of it. However some
consumer may hold both positive beliefs toward an object as well as negative
beliefs. The influence of beliefs is very strong than the influence of others. During
the pandemic newly habits are formed but few studies only know it and it
revealed the distinction between the so-called “insulated shopper” and
“constrained shopper”. “While many will continue to stay at home, the impact
will not be equal. There are some opportunities for those who still have the money
to spend.

Research Paradigm
The diagram with Covid-19 is the cause that affects the buying behavior of
the consumers. Their buying behavior will be change forever or not because of the
rising crisis people are hard to strive to adapt the new normal due to pandemic.
People are affected with their financial problems and social problems because
some people can’t afford online shopping or pick up delivery because of the lack
of financial needs and also they didn’t accept salary because they can’t work
because of the crisis. So it is a big impact to the consumers that affects their
buying behavior because of the virus.

Research Hypothesis
There is a difference between the old and the new buying habits before
and during pandemic. Before the pandemic new habits is the most approached of
the people because they intend to be more efficiently when buying their needs
because they are always prioritize their basic needs than their personal needs. As
the Covid-19 crisis arises the basic needs is more intended because of the
hoarding of the products in the market they are feared of the virus.
If the habits are not changed then the Covid-19 has an effect in the buying
behavior of the consumers greatly at their financial and social state may affect by
the crisis.
