This study focuses on social crowding, a common situational factor in purchasing, and examines how it affects the happiness obtained from EPs versus MPs. Through four studies, we found that EPs result in greater purchase-related happiness than MPs in uncrowded environments. Conversely, in crowded environments, consumers obtain significantly less happiness from EPs, even less than from MPs. Mediating effects analysis revealed that closeness to the self was a crucial mediating mechanism. Additionally, this study examined the performance of this effect across different cultural value orientations through a cross-cultural comparison between China and the United States. The results indicate that this effect is stronger among consumers with an individualistic cultural orientation compared to those with a collectivistic cultural orientation. This study comprehensively considers the impact of purchase type on happiness from the perspectives of situational as well as cultural factors, contributing new findings to the research on the “experiential advantage.”</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services","volume":"84 ","pages":"Article 104189"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143170737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its widespread use, there remains a scant understanding of how narrative elements within a vlog can influence consumers' emotional states and subsequent responses. Utilizing the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model, this study explores how narrative attributes in sponsored food vlogs can heighten viewer engagement through the evocation of emotional states, as articulated by the PAD (Pleasure, Arousal, Dominance) framework. Data were gathered through a survey of 322 Egyptian respondents who viewed four different sponsored food vlogs sourced from Facebook. The findings reveal that: (1) narrative attributes of sponsored food vlogs-specifically self-referencing, concreteness, and positive values-trigger positive emotional states (PAD), which in turn foster viewer engagement with the vlogs; (2) the influence of narrative attributes on viewer engagement is significantly strengthened when there is a robust alignment between the food vlogger and the food features presented; and (3) of all the narrative attributes, self-referencing most effectively predicts viewers' emotional states (PAD) and engagement, outperforming concreteness and positive values. The implications are discussed with regard to the theoretical and practical relevance for academics, restaurant managers, and food vloggers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services","volume":"84 ","pages":"Article 104178"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143170832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three online experiments involving a total of 1025 participants were conducted, and the data were analyzed using SPSS 26. The findings indicate that compared to a product-independent VI, a product-dependent VI generates higher purchase intention, and cognitive and emotional trust play mediating roles. Additionally, linguistic style and brand prominence moderate the relationship between VIs and purchase intention via cognitive and emotional trust.

The evolution of consumer shopping has been similarly remarkable, transitioning from the barter system and street markets to shopping malls' online platforms and, most recently, the metaverse. The metaverse is increasingly recognised as offering an immersive experience akin to a real-world mall, where consumers can engage in play, social interaction, community building, and purchasing both virtual and physical goods. However, the capabilities of the metaverse could be further utilised to save the environment and reduce carbon emissions, offering a hopeful future for retailing. This study examines the participative intention towards metaverse-based retail stores using the norm activation model (NAM) by collecting data from 532 respondents. The data was analysed using structured equation modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that activated personal norms and positive attitudes significantly drive participative intention towards metaverse-based retail stores, empowering individuals to make a positive impact. These results underscore the influential role of personal norms and positive attitudes in shaping consumer behaviour in the metaverse, giving individuals a sense of empowerment and impact.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services","volume":"84 ","pages":"Article 104177"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143170735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, individuals experiencing high perceived busyness, inclined towards an outcome mindset, preferred cognitive advertisements, whereas those with low perceived busyness, adopting a process mindset, favored affective advertisements.

However, the number of shared private cars remains relatively low, and empirical evidence regarding car owners' sharing intention is scarce. This paper aims to identify the factors influencing car owners' participation decision in private car sharing from the perspective of business operators who provide various services, such as cleanliness, maintenance, insurance and inspection. In addition, we examine how latent factors like privacy protection, trust, social value, hygiene, orderliness, and utilitarian value impact car owners' willingness to participate in different business models. A mixed logit hybrid choice model, incorporating latent factors and random parameters to capture preference heterogeneity, was developed using data from a stated choice experiment conducted online in Hiroshima. The results indicate that car owners generally dislike the additional insurance and maintenance costs associated with business models, but free car inspections and cleaning services significantly increase their participation intention. Trust and social value positively influence adoption, while concerns about hygiene and orderliness negatively affect decisions. These insights can help private car-sharing enterprises enhance market penetration by addressing key behavioral factors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services","volume":"83 ","pages":"Article 104160"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142746193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
