抢购是指消费者在可预期的灾难前、灾难发生后、在可预见的价格上升及商品短缺前,异常地购买大量的商品之行为。

在公共卫生危机时发生的抢购行为,受下述情绪及因素所影响的:其一,个人因公共卫生危机而感威胁和商品短缺;其二,因情绪压力及不稳定性,而对未知事物所产生的恐惧;其三,因视抢购为缓解焦虑及重新控制危机,而所作出的因应行为;其四,因个人在社交网络受到的影响而出现的社会心理因素[1]

抢购也是一种羊群效应[2],而这对消费者行为理论较为重要的。广义上的经济学的研究会对如何解释一些群体行为进行探讨,例如是潮流股市走势、盲抢、团积挤提[3]

抢购也会导致真正的短缺问题,而不管短缺的风险是否真实存在还是凭感觉的,而后一种情况是自我实现的例子[4]
