Of Photographs, Souvenirs, And Ticket Stubs: When Do Consumers Desire Mementos During An Experience?, Charlene Chu, Suzanne B. Shu

Business Faculty Articles and Research

Consumers often desire mementos of their experiential consumption, as reflected in common behaviors such as taking photos during a special event, purchasing souvenirs while on vacation, or keeping ticket stubs from a concert, but when do consumers desire mementos during an experience? This research examines the timing of the desire for mementos during an experience, and the conditions and motivations that prompt those memento timing decisions. We propose that the approaching end of an experience increases feelings of sadness and thus the desire for mementos at that time. However, for experiences that are easily repeatable, the approaching end of an …

A Picture Paints A Thousand Words: Understanding How People Conceptualise Autism Through Images, Gray Atherton, Emily Dawson, Andrea Piovesan, Lauren Hawksworth-Quill, Liam Cross

School of Psychology

Conceptions of autism and neurodiversity vary widely, with differing views on how they are portrayed in contemporary culture. Although autism scholars have long advocated for greater involvement of autistic individuals in knowledge creation, meaningful co-production between autistic stakeholders, researchers, and the broader community remains limited. To explore differences in autism knowledge between autistic and non-autistic people, we used a qualitative method called visual elicitation. We invited the public to upload an image they felt represented autism and explain their choice. Through thematic analysis of these images and their accompanying descriptions, we identified three key themes highlighting how autism is currently …

Patterns Of Resilience, Patterns Of Tragedy: Perspectives From Inside And Outside To Theorize Beneficial Interventions Serving Urban African American Youth Struggling With Community Violence, Katherine Tyson Mccrea, Kevin Miller, Amzie Moore, Heather L. Watson

Social Work: School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Other Works

Community violence, defined as violence perpetrated in community as opposed to home settings, is a salient social problem, causing terror and tragedy, especially in urban, low-income communities of color. Interventions supporting youth struggling with community violence have been insufficiently studied and theorized, especially from strengths-focused, culturally relevant standpoints in the context of contemporary social policies. This paper outlines psychodynamic theoretical models for services that have been developed via participatory research and provided for 19 years for over 1000 youth. Then, to understand how youth make use of the programs from an “inside” perspective, four intensive case examples are described. From …

Investigating The Effects Of Cognitive Loads On Serial Dependence And Metacognition In Visual Working Memory, Wing Sum Chiu

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

Humans tend to perceive the physical world based on the input from the recent past, a phenomenon known as serial dependence. Serial dependence typically results in an attractive bias toward prior stimuli to maintain perceptual stability. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether cognitive loads can modulate serial dependence and metacognitive processes may depend on serial dependence. In this study, we investigate how memory and perceptual loads affect serial dependence, memory precision, and metacognition in visual working memory.

In Experiment 1, we manipulated memory load by varying set sizes. During each trial, 1, 3 or 6 Gabor patches (as a between-subjects factor) …
