International audienceWe draw theoretical support from the concept of customer participation and cognitive dissonance theory to investigate the moderating effects of the preference-related belief of nature-based tourists, that is, the New Environmental Paradigm (NEP), on relationships between tourist experiential components and outcomes. The responses of 500 visitors to the Yangmingshan National Park, Taiwan indicate that actively participative experiences (APEs)-that is, education and escapism-are more positively related than passively participative experiences (PPEs)-that is, entertainment and esthetics-to pleasure and memorability. Furthermore, tourists' NEP appears to reinforce the effects of APEs and to weaken the effects of PPEs. We also found that tourists' NEP has a stronger reinforcing effect than a weakening effect. Our study contributes further evidence to current insights into the importance of tourists' participation in co-creating value of tourist experiences

This study adds the political tendencies of subordinates and their organizational socialization as antecedents to the Rao, Schmidt, and Murray (1995)

This study applies and builds on Davis and Rigaux's (J Consum Res 1(1): [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] 1974) triangle of spousal dominance styles of family purchase decisions. We explored adolescents' perceptions of parents' dominance in family decisions by investigating mother-father relative influence (MFRI) and responsibility sharing with family for 15 issues relating to vacations. The results, derived from data collected in 25 societies, demonstrate a tendency toward an autonomic style of parents' decision-making for all sub-decisions and all societies except Turkey. Overall, both decision phases and cultural regions correlated with democratization of family vacation decisions. The relationship between sex-role specialization and societal cluster differed across sub-decision clusters. Further, societal effectiveness in general, individualism and long-term orientation were positively correlated with MFRI.

We consider the influence of personal and social identity among adolescents on the importance they attach to clothing products and brands. The conceptual framework includes more conventional variables such as socialization (family, peers, media, and celebrities) and individual characteristics (gender and grade level). Based on a sample of 1,596 French high school adolescents, our results highlight: (i) the influence of identity on the importance attached to product and brand; (ii) the mediating effects of personal and social identities; and (iii) the moderating effects of gender and grade level. We conclude with an analysis of theoretical contributions, practical implications, and future research directions. Copyright © 2016 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
