Focusing on the Reader: Engagement Trumps Satisfaction
Satisfaction is commonly monitored by news organizations because it is an antecedent to readership. In fact, countless studies have shown the satisfaction–readership relationship to be true. Still, an essential question remains: Is satisfaction the only, or even the critical, thing to focus on with readership? This research indicates that the answer is no. Two other related constructs, reader experiences and engagement, affect reader behavior eve…
Media Transportation and Advertising
Advertising is commonly presented in the context of media articles or programs that are intended to engage the consumer. An important aspect of this engagement is media transportation, where a person not only attends to information but also is absorbed into the narrative flow of a story in a pleasurable and active way. This research examines the effects of the transportation experience produced by the media context on the impact of ads that appea…
The Role of the Catholic Church and Other Religious Institutions in the Guatemalan Peace Process, 1980-1996
Between 1980 and 1996, the Guatemalan Catholic Church, along with other religious institutions, played a major role in that country's peace process (which ultimately ended a thirty-five year struggle be tween the government and an armed opposition). One aspect of this involvement was the formal peace negotiations (which originated with the Esquipulas II agreements in 1987), in which the Catholic Church and other religious players figured prominen…
Confirmatory Versus Comparative Approaches to Judging Theory Tests
This article examines the widely held view that manipulation checks, measures of process, and repeated operationalizations in different settings are frequently essential for rigorous tests of theory. This Confirmatory Approach to theory testing is contrasted with the Comparative Approach, which asserts that any procedures are adequate if they serve in demonstrating the superiority of one explanation to its rivals. Our analysis favors the Comparat…

Impact of the introduction of television on crime in the United States: Empirical findings and theoretical implications
The Concept of External Validity
Many researchers feel that external validity must be emphasized even in theoretical research. The argument for both a sophisticated and a common sense version of this contention is refuted in this paper. It is concluded that the very nature of progress in theoretical research argues against attempting to maximize external validity in the context of any single study
Designing Research for Application
Two distinct types of generalizability are identified in consumer research. One entails the application of specific effects, whereas the other entails the application of general scientific theory. Effects application and theory application rest on different philosophical assumptions, and have different methodological implications. A failure to respect these differences has led to much confusion, regarding issues such as the appropriateness of stu…
Intrinsic Motivation and norms about payment1
Several previous studies have shown that rewarding individuals for preforming an interesting task may have an inhibitory effect on tast satisfaction and persistence. In this experiment, an extrinsic reward decreased task satisfaction and persistence when a norm for no payment existed, but the inhibitory effect was not found when a norm for payment was associated with the task. This result is discussed in terms of the “means-ends” theoretical pers…
Interpersonal Influence on Consumer Behavior: An Attribution Theory Approach
Attribution theory is used to develop a new approach to interpersonal influence. As a first step in investigating this approach, an experiment explores how people infer personal dispositions from observing a consumer's behavior. The results illustrate the value of the attribution approach but suggest the need for extending existing attribution theory
Self-perception of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
Self-perception theory predicts that intrinsic and extrinsic motivation do not combine additively but rather interact. To test this predicted interaction, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation were both manipulated as independent variables. The results revealed a significant interaction for task satisfaction and a trend for the interaction on a behavioral measure. These results are discussed in terms of a general approach to the self-perception of m…
