摘要:
Marketers have long understood that the act of consumption can be symbolic as well as functional. This research introduces the idea that the act of disposal can likewise be symbolic and defines symbolic disposal as the use of disposal to intentionally make a point to others or send a message to oneself. We further propose that consumer identity may be influenced not only through product acquisition and usage, but also through product disposal. Across five studies, both antecedents and consequences of disposal method preferences are examined. Evidence gathered from actual disposition of real possessions suggests that symbolic disposal is prevalent and frequently publicized. Results further show that when disposing of products with negative (vs. positive or neutral) sentimental value, preference for trashing increases even for products with market value that could instead be donated or sold. We attribute this effect to symbolic fit—the ability of a disposal method to uniquely express sentimental value—and show that cognitive elaboration amplifies the effect of sentimental value on preferred disposal method. Because symbolic disposal can promote wasteful behavior, this work also has important implications for waste reduction and sustainability.主讲人简介:
