Oh my gosh, I got to get out of this place! A qualitative study of vicarious embarrassment in service encounters

Abstract: Vicarious embarrassment is a negative emotion, which is experienced by an individual when others misbehave. People can feel vicariously embarrassed when observing other people's pratfalls or awkward appearance. For instance, vicarious embarrassment is elicited when watching reality TV or in service encounters where many other customers are present. However, the relevance of vicarious embarrassment in physical service environments has not yet been thoroughly analyzed in the context of service encounters. The ob… Show more

“…Some researchers have isolated each negative emotion according to the product of consumer setting. For example, to study embarrassment in products (Londono, Davies, & Elms, 2017), service encounters (Kilian, Steinmann, & Hammes, 2018), and how men and women cope with the embarrassment of buying condoms (Arndt & Ekebas-Turedi, 2017). An additional powerful negative emotion is guilt (Arli, Leo, & Tjiptono, 2016), since guilt and moral identity also help consumers to connect with ethical brands (Newman & Trump, 2017).…”

“…Ghantous e Maher (2018) em estudo sobre encontros interculturais de serviço, caracterizados por aqueles em que há presença de diferentes origens de consumidores e funcionários em um mesmo ambiente de serviços, identificaram que o tema é uma questão complexa que depende de outros fatores, incluindo identificação nacional e discriminação percebida no ambiente de serviços. Alguns estudos identificaram que os consumidores ficam mais satisfeitos com os encontros de serviços quando se deparam com consumidores semelhantes a si próprios e quando outros clientes são de origem étnica semelhante (BROCATO et al, 2012;JOHNSON e GRIER, 2013;KILIAN et al, 2018). Além disso, a similaridade com outros consumidores se mostrou associada à compatibilidade com a autoimagem do consumidor e com a marca em experiências de serviços (HANKS et al, 2017).…”

De acordo com Kilian et al (2018), o sentimento de vergonha devido ao comportamento disfuncional de outros clientes em ambiente de serviços é maior quando advém de amigos e familiares, devido ao grau de similaridade (LIVIATAN et al 2008).…”
