This quantitative study aims to examine the role of impulsive buying as a mediator in the relationship between influencer credibility and postpurchase cognitive dissonance. The study hypothesizes that influencer credibility positively affects postpurchase cognitive dissonance, with impulsive buying acting as a mediating variable. A total of 506 respondents participated and data were analyzed using a mediation test based on the General Linear Model (GLM) to assess direct and indirect effects. The results reveal an inconsistent mediation pattern, in which the indirect path through impulsive buying is significant and positive, while the direct path is significant but negative. These findings indicate that influencer credibility can function adaptively in shaping consumers’ postpurchase psychological evaluations, depending on the involvement of impulsive buying in the decision-making process, particularly in the context of blind box products
