Someone to Watch Over me: State Monitoring of Local Fiscal Conditions
Although the fiscal condition of local governments has been a recent concern for some states, there is considerable ambiguity about what constitutes fiscal difficulties and how to recognize them before they become fiscal emergencies. This article outlines the results of a 50-state survey to identify and classify indicators states use to assess or monitor fiscal conditions in their local governments. The survey revealed that most states did not ha…
Developing and Testing a Composite Model to Predict Local Fiscal Distress
One of the thorniest issues of intergovernmental fiscal relations is state oversight of local fiscal affairs. States have oversight responsibility and must take action when local governments run afoul of responsible fiscal behavior. Less accepted is how states can detect local financial difficulties before they become emergencies that require state takeover. Research in the 1970s provided some assistance to states wishing to recognize local finan…
Reexamination and Extension of Kleine, Kleine, and Kernan's Social Identity Model of Mundane Consumption: The Mediating Role of the Appraisal Process
Solomon (1983) proposed that products, as social stimuli, influence reflected appraisals. Appraisals, in turn, influence self-definition. Kleine, Kleine, and Kernan (1993, study 2) empirically supported Solomon's hypothesis. Appraisals were found to completely mediate the relationship between possessions and self-definition. Appraisals are thus an essential link between possession sets and individuals' self-definitions. The current study extends …
How is a Possession "Me" or "Not Me"? Characterizing Types and an Antecedent of Material Possession Attachment
Material possession attachment, a property of the relationship between a specific person and a specific object of possession, reflects the extent of “me-ness” associated with that possession. The two Q-methodological studies reported here investigated the nature of this me-ness (and “not me-ness”). Study 1 explores different types of attachment and how these types portray various facets of a person's life story (i.e., identity). It shows how stro…
Mundane Consumption and the Self: A Social‐Identity Perspective
The self—a sense of who and what we are—is suggested as an organizing construct through which people's everyday activities can be understood. Life's mundane tasks and the consumer behaviors necessary to enact them are cast in a perspective of self little used by consumer psychologists—social—identity theory. Two structural modeling studies in support of the perspective are reported. The results of the first one imply that people use products to e…

Contextual Influences on the Meanings Ascribed to Ordinary Consumption Objects
Although the perception of contextualized objects pervades our everyday experiences, the literature provides little insight into how consumers ascribe meaning to contextualized products, or indeed into what meaning is. We address this gap in the literature by providing a conceptualization of consumption-object meaning and an a priori model for measuring it. An experiment tested several hypotheses concerning how the kind and amount of context affe…
