Development of inclusive advertising toward bereaved families
Families are usually displayed in advertising with happy, living, biological children, but what is missing from advertising is a reference to the more than one in four families that have lost a pregnancy or experienced the death of a baby born living prior to the age of one. Our research investigates this important absence from advertising practice and accompanying contributions to advertising literature through four studies. Study 1 uses qualita…
Cultural differences on baby loss experiences
Prior research has shown that the death of a baby (whether it be through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss) can have profound effects on the parents involved. However, research has yet to adequately understand how these effects differ cross-culturally. Our research addresses these issues through a qualitative study of 47 bereaved mothers in the United States and New Zealand-cultures that have differing perspectives on death. Findings reveal…
When being smart trumps AI
Prior to the rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) in the consumer market, smart products received great attention from marketers and consumers. Given the recent increase in attention to AI technologies, this research explores consumers' preferences and intentions when products are framed as “smart” versus “AI-powered.” While previous literature has explored AI products and smart products individually, little is known about consumers’ pr…
Exploring Parents’ Knowledge of Dark Design and Its Impact on Children’s Digital Well-Being
Dark design (also known as deceptive design; Colin et al., 2018 and dark patterns; Mathur et al., 2019) is evidenced by “a user interface carefully crafted to trick users into doing things they might not otherwise do” (Brignull, 2022; page 1). Much dark design is constructed with monetization as the primary goal- even in spaces without ecommerce design (e.g., free-to-play apps representing >95% of all mobile apps; Fitton et al. 2021). Many recent…
The Process Model of Stigmatized Loss
Despite almost one-third of women suffering from the loss of a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, it is surprising how little research examines how such loss affects the identity and stigmas experienced by these individuals. Through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with bereaved mothers (in particular, mothers who lost a baby during pregnancy or within one year after birth), this research sheds light on the bereaved mother'…
Advice from Bereaved Parents on Strategies to Heal After Baby Loss
With close to one in three babies dying between conception and infancy, research examining how to assist bereaved parents after loss is critical. Prior research focuses primarily on a general understanding of the journey post-loss or on a specific strategy that can be pursued to assist in healing but does not adequately provide a holistic examination of post-loss strategies nor is it from firsthand recommendations of bereaved parents. Our researc…

Rising with the machines
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being adopted by organizations, yet implementation is often carried out without careful consideration of the employees who will be working along with it. If employees do not understand or work with AI, it is unlikely to bring value to an organization. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the ways in which employees and AI can collaborate to build different levels of sociotechnical capital. Accor…
