Using a mixed-method design that includes secondary and experimental data analysis, the study results reveal that travelers' emotional expressions mediate the pandemic's impact on online review efforts. Specifically, the pandemic makes emotional expressions more negative, thereby reducing online review efforts. Furthermore, cognitive expressions moderate the above mediating effect such that the higher one's cognitive expression is, the weaker the mediating effect.

These effects were muted when the service robot was humanlike and in the context of group consumption. This research contributes to the service robot and indulgence literature.
