Abstract
Consumers have been taking various preventive measures during COVID-19. We propose that people who take voluntary (vs. compulsory) preventive actions are better able to adapt to different aspects of life changes. In four studies, we demonstrate that voluntary preventive measures have a positive effect on consumers' adaptation to work, social relationships, interest in hobbies, and other consumption aspects. Because voluntary behavior promotes autonomy, we also manipulate consumers' autonomous motivation and find that feeling autonomous increases consumers' intention to take prevention and pursue adaptation. Moreover, we manipulate consumer self-efficacy and find that it improves consumer safety behavior and adaptation.

Zhang H, Zhang S, Lu J, Lei Y, Li H. Social exclusion increases the executive function of attention networks. Sci Rep 2021; 11:9494. [PMID: 33947874 PMCID: PMC8096936 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-86385-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2020] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Previous studies in humans have shown that brain regions activating social exclusion overlap with those related to attention. However, in the context of social exclusion, how does behavioral monitoring affect individual behavior? In this study, we used the Cyberball game to induce the social exclusion effect in a group of participants. To explore the influence of social exclusion on the attention network, we administered the Attention Network Test (ANT) and compared results for the three subsystems of the attention network (orienting, alerting, and executive control) between exclusion (N = 60) and inclusion (N = 60) groups. Compared with the inclusion group, the exclusion group showed shorter overall response time and better executive control performance, but no significant differences in orienting or alerting. The excluded individuals showed a stronger ability to detect and control conflicts. It appears that social exclusion does not always exert a negative influence on individuals. In future research, attention to network can be used as indicators of social exclusion. This may further reveal how social exclusion affects individuals' psychosomatic mechanisms.

Lim WM, Yap SF, Makkar M. Home sharing in marketing and tourism at a tipping point: What do we know, how do we know, and where should we be heading? JOURNAL OF BUSINESS RESEARCH 2021; 122:534-566. [PMID: 33012896 PMCID: PMC7523531 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbusres.2020.08.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2020] [Revised: 08/24/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
The proliferation of home sharing in the extant marketing and tourism literature has only been accelerated in recent times due to the emergence of the sharing economy. This paper contends that it is now an opportune time to pursue a stock take of existing knowledge in order to guide future marketing and tourism research on home sharing. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to review and propose an agenda for home sharing from a marketing and tourism perspective. Through a framework-based systematic review, this paper offers an organized, retrospective view of the antecedents, decisions, and outcomes (ADO) of home sharing in marketing and tourism. The paper also provides a snapshot on the theories, contexts, and methods (TCM) employed to gain this understanding before concluding with a discussion on the extant knowledge gaps and the ways in which these gaps could be addressed through pertinent ideas for future marketing and tourism research on home sharing.

Abstract
In this research, we document some of the many unusual consumer behavior patterns that came to dominate the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. We offer insights based on theory to help explain and predict these behaviors and associated outcomes in order to inform future research and marketing practice. Taking an environmentally-imposed constraints point of view, we examine behaviors during each of three phases: reacting (e.g., hoarding and rejecting), coping (e.g. maintaining social connectedness, do-it-yourself behaviors, changing views of brands) and longer-term adapting (e.g. potentially transformative changes in consumption and individual and social identity). We discuss implications for marketing researchers and practice.
