Privileged origins taint perceived authenticity
Collective Joy: The Spirituality of the Community Big Band Wonderbrass
Wonderbrass is a community music band that performs professionally. This article-written by three members of the band-uses collaborative/conversational autoethnography to explore the significance of the band through the lens of spirituality. After a brief overview of the history and ethos of the band, the autoethnographic methodology is discussed with particular attention to its significance for the investigation of music and spirituality. The re…

The Curse of the Original: How and When Heritage Branding Reduces Consumer Evaluations of Enhanced Products
Heritage branding is a common marketing strategy that has been shown to increase product appeal. Here, we find that certain forms of heritage branding can also have potentially negative consequences by leading consumers to react negatively to changes made to the brand's original, flagship product-even if those changes objectively improve it. We demonstrate that when firms engage in heritage branding that emphasizes a brand's longevity, consumers …
Makeup Who You Are: Self-Expression Enhances the Perceived Authenticity and Public Promotion of Beauty Work
Although consumers put substantial effort toward their appearance, engaging in beauty work is often seen as inauthentic, posing challenges for beauty companies that increasingly rely on social media-driven product promotion where authenticity perceptions are consequential. This article draws on existentialist notions of authenticity (wherein the true self is created rather than innate) to explore how framing beauty work as self-expression alters …
Beyond Data Recovery: Developing Digital Information Systems for Cultural Resources in the Online Era
For historic property types such as archaeological sites and historic buildings, data recovery is often the main part of mitigation plans offered by federal agencies with undertakings that will destroy part or all of a cultural resource. In theory, by extracting important information before destruction, we recover some part of a historic resource's cultural value. In some situations, however, data recovery is impossible or otherwise undesirable, …
Twice-told tales: Self-repetition decreases observer assessments of performer authenticity
People often engage in self-repetition-repeating the same story, joke, or presentation across different audiences. While behaving consistently has generally been found to enhance perceptions of authenticity, 10 studies demonstrate that performers who are revealed to be self-repeating are perceived as less authentic. We find convergent evidence that this effect is driven by observers' implicit assumption that social interactions are unique. Self-r…
Made by Mistake: When Mistakes Increase Product Preference
Mistakes are often undesirable and frequently result in negative inferences about the person or company that made the mistake. Consequently, research suggests that information about mistakes is rarely shared with consumers. However, we find that consumers actually prefer products that were made by mistake to otherwise identical products that were made intentionally. This preference arises because consumers perceive that a product made by mistake …
Music, Pedagogy, Community, University of South Wales, Cardiff, 5 March 2016
This article is a report on a symposium held in 2016 that looked at the various roles of musical participation in creating or solidifying communities, whether they be communities of faith, common purpose or cultural practice or nationhood/ethnicity. The report looks at a variety of responses to the call; responses that included read papers, poster presentations, video provocations and a performance. The report concludes by identifying areas for f…
Kinds of Authenticity
The concept of authenticity plays an important role in how people reason about objects, other people, and themselves. However, despite a great deal of academic interest in this concept, to date, the precise meaning of the term, authenticity, has remained somewhat elusive. This paper reviews the various definitions of authenticity that have been proposed in the literature and identifies areas of convergence. We then outline a novel framework that …
Closer to the Creator: Temporal Contagion Explains the Preference for Earlier Serial Numbers
Consumers demonstrate a robust preference for items with earlier serial numbers (e.g., No. 3/100) over otherwise identical items with later serial numbers (e.g., No. 97/100) in a limited edition set. This preference arises from the perception that items with earlier serial numbers are temporally closer to the origin (e.g., the designer or artist who produced it). In turn, beliefs in contagion (the notion that objects may acquire a special essence…
