Grief, commiseration, and consumption following the death of a celebrity
Celebrated individuals often take on a sacred status, producing intense feelings among their fans. Because celebrities are usually protected and distant, their fans turn to celebrity-related products, which themselves may become cherished and sacred. After a celebrity dies, relevant products become even more significant as remedies for feelings of loss. This research examined expressions of grief and consumption-related emotions posted on interne…
Individual Differences in the Centrality of Visual Product Aesthetics
This research conceptualizes and develops a scale to measure individual differences in the centrality of visual product aesthetics (CVPA), defined as the level of significance that visual aesthetics hold for a particular consumer in his/her relationship with products. Three related dimensions of product aesthetics centrality emerged from the research: value, acumen, and response intensity. A series of eight studies provided evidence that the CVPA…
Seeking the Ideal Form
The physical form or design of a product is an unquestioned determinant of its marketplace success. A good design attracts consumers to a product, communicates to them, and adds value to the product by increasing the quality of the usage experiences associated with it. Nevertheless, the topic of product design is rarely, if ever, encountered in marketing journals. To bring needed attention to the subject of product design and enable researchers t…
Involvement with Adornments as Leisure Behavior
Our society highly values physical attractiveness. Therefore, in the pursuit of attractiveness, many people may become highly involved with adornments. This paper argues that many of these adornment related activities qualify as significant forms of recreation, yet remain understudied. Adornment-related recreation is discussed and possible influences on activity levels are described. An empirical study of adornment-related recreation among female…
Involvement with the equipment component of sport
The purpose of this paper is to examine the involvement many sports participants have with relevant sports equipment. A structural model is presented which proposes a positive relationship between equipment involvement and recreational commitment. The model also identifies several possible outcomes of equipment involvement such as product spending levels and opinion leadership regarding the equipment. The model is tested using LJSREL analysis for…
Correlates of Price Acceptability
The cognitive tradeoff between price and product quality is used as a basis for hypothesizing interrelationships between two individual difference variables and two price-related responses. Results of a correlational study support the hypothesis of an inverse relationship between price consciousness and product involvement and the hypotheses that price consciousness and product involvement have opposite implications for several price-related cons…
After the New Wears off
While product involvement has been identified as a significant variable in consumer behavior, the precise nature of such involvement is still not well understood. The study reported here utilizes a longitudinal design to provide evidence for the notion that there are two forms of product involvement. The study also documents the differing temporal patterns of behaviors associated with each form. Behaviors associated with enduring involvement were…
Consumer Search
While consumer search behavior has been studied for many years, its treatment has been limited to purchase contexts. This article defines ongoing search as search occurring outside of the purchase process, and places it within an overall framework for consumer search. In addition, it presents results of an exploratory study of ongoing search indicating that recreational or hedonic motives for ongoing search are more significant than practical, in…
The Leisure Experience and Consumer Products
The role of consumer products in the creation of leisure experiences was explored as a neglected area of leisure research. In addition, empirical tests of two hypotheses which relate recreational involvement with products and various perceived satisfactions were described. A sample of 438 respondents provided data on sources of satisfaction pertaining to leisure activity centering on automobiles and clothing, as well as data which could be used t…
