Second Language Acquisition and the Mastery of Discourse Connectives
Even though the mastery of discourse connectives represents an important step toward reaching high language proficiency, it remains highly difficult for L2-learners to master them. We conducted an experiment in which we tested the mastery of 12 monofunctional French connectives conveying six different coherence relations by 151 German-speaking learners of French, as well as a control group of 63 native French speakers. Our results show that the c…
Grandparents' Relationship to Grandchildren in the Transition to Adulthood
This study investigates grandparent-grandchild relations in emerging adulthood, focusing on grandchildren's transition to residential independence and the role of parents as mediators. Using three waves of the German Ageing Survey (DEAS), we estimate fixed effects models to assess changes in the frequency of contact and emotional closeness of 349 grandparents with 494 grandchildren aged 16 to 30 years. Grandparent-grandchild contact decreases dur…
Relationship-Based Selective Participation of Secondary Respondents in a German Multi-Actor Panel Study
ObjectiveThis study investigates the extent to which participation of secondary respondents (SRs), here mothers, in a multi-actor study is cross-sectionally and longitudinally biased regarding relationship characteristics with the primary respondent (PR) of the same study.BackgroundFamily research emphasizes the importance of analyzing family relations over time and from the perspectives of several family members. Following the leverage-salience …
Trust in humanoid robots
Purpose Service robots can offer benefits to consumers (e.g. convenience, flexibility, availability, efficiency) and service providers (e.g. cost savings), but a lack of trust hinders consumer adoption. To enhance trust, firms add human-like features to robots; yet, anthropomorphism theory is ambiguous about their appropriate implementation. This study therefore aims to investigate what is more effective for fostering trust: appearance features t…
Cutting through Content Clutter
Consumer-to-consumer brand message sharing is pivotal for effective social media marketing. Even as companies join social media conversations and generate millions of brand messages, it remains unclear what, how, and when brand messages stand out and prompt sharing by consumers. With a conceptual extension of speech act theory, this study offers a granular assessment of brands’ message intentions (i.e., assertive, expressive, or directive) and th…
Pathways to retirement
We examine the association between pathways to retirement and patterns of subjective well-being in Germany. We argue that short-term development of subjective well-being is related to social status changes while long-term development of subjective well-being is related to resources and changes in life circumstances. Importantly, we expect that how a person's social status changes and his/her access to resources post-retirement both depend on the …
Same-sex relationship experiences and expectations regarding partnership and parenthood
Whereas recent years have brought comprehensive demographic accounts of the gay and lesbian population in the United States and several European countries, relatively little is yet known about gaysâ and lesbiansâ family-related attitudes and expectations
Unveiling What Is Written in the Stars
Deciphering consumers' sentiment expressions from big data (e.g., online reviews) has become a managerial priority to monitor product and service evaluations. However, sentiment analysis, the process of automatically distilling sentiment from text, provides little insight regarding the language granularities beyond the use of positive and negative words. Drawing on speech act theory, this study provides a fine-grained analysis of the implicit and…
Transition into Retirement Affects Life Satisfaction
The Extended Transportation-Imagery Model
Stories, and their ability to transport their audience, constitute a central part of human life and consumption experience. Integrating previous literature derived from fields as diverse as anthropology, marketing, psychology, communication, consumer, and literary studies, this article offers a review of two decades worth of research on narrative transportation, the phenomenon in which consumers mentally enter a world that a story evokes. Despite…
Using PLS Path Modeling for Assessing Hierarchical Construct Models
In this paper, the authors show that PLS path modeling can be used to assess a hierarchical construct model. They provide guidelines outlining four key steps to construct a hierarchical construct model using PLS path modeling. This approach is illustrated empirically using a reflective, fourth-order latent variable model of online experiential value in the context of online book and CD retailing. Moreover, the guidelines for the use of PLS path m…
