  • unconditioned superstition and sports bar fans
    Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management, 2016
    Co-Authors: Lydia Hanks, Lu Zhang, Sean Mcginley
    Abstract:

    This study investigates whether inducing a Superstitious Belief in a consumer by suggesting a relationship between the consumer’s purchase behavior and a specified outcome could influence consumer behavior. It also examines the moderating role of preconsumption mood in processing the information. Using information processing theory as a framework, hypotheses were developed using hypothetical scenarios and surveys. Our results demonstrated that participants in the positive mood condition reported higher expectations for the team’s performance, more positive attitude, and stronger intent to purchase when the ads contained the superstition cue, whereas participants in the negative mood condition did not. These results expand the literature on Superstitious consumer behavior by demonstrating that companies can not only address superstitions that consumers already hold, but can also induce Superstitious Beliefs in customers. By doing so, managers and marketers may be able to positively influence consumers’ att...

  • a test of social cognitive theory reciprocal and sequential effects hope Superstitious Belief and environmental factors among lottery gamblers in thailand
    Journal of Gambling Studies, 2007
    Co-Authors: Vanchai Ariyabuddhiphongs, Nathanat Chanchalermporn
    Abstract:

    This study tested social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986) hypotheses of reciprocal and sequential effects among person, environment variables and behavior. The study examined the impact of hope, Superstitious Belief and environmental factors on the frequency, amounts of lottery gambling and chasing of particular numbers among Thai lottery gamblers. One hundred and fifty gamblers who visited two temples in Bangkok to search for number clues before buying tickets and 150 gamblers who simply bought lottery tickets from the stalls were recruited for the study. Models were constructed to test the effect of hope, Superstitious Belief and environmental factors on gambling behavior, and the reciprocal effect of gambling behavior on hope, Superstitious Belief and environmental factors. Results confirmed the theoretical reciprocal effects. A sequential effect model showing the effects of environmental factors on Superstitious Belief, hope and gambling behavior was also constructed and hope was found to be the result of Superstitious Belief. To reduce lottery gambling, the players need to be warned of their distorted hope and the small chance of winning lottery.

  • fate control and well being in chinese rural people living with hiv mediation effect of resilience
    Aids Care-psychological and Socio-medical Aspects of Aids\ hiv, 2017
    Co-Authors: Jianxin Zhang, Amy Y M Chow, Celia H Y Chan, Cecilia L W Chan
    Abstract:

    Fate control has been often misconceptualized as a Superstitious Belief and overlooked in health psychology. It is not known how this cultural Belief might impact the well-being of Chinese people living with HIV. This study examined the protective role of fate control for well-being and the potential mediation effect of resilience. Participants in this study were rural patients who contracted HIV via commercial blood donation. In this cross-sectional survey, 250 participants completed measures of fate control, well-being, and resilience. The results showed that fate control and resilience were positively associated with well-being. Resilience mediated the association between fate control and well-being. Our findings provide insight into the adaptive function of fate control as a cognitive defensive mechanism and highlight the need to incorporate this cultural Belief in developing culturally sensitive intervention programs for resilience enhancement tailored for this understudied population infected with HIV living in rural China.
