“…A MC is customarily considered an informative tool (Foschi, 2014;Hüffmeier et al, 2016;Stroebe & Strack, 2014;Wilson et al, 2010). An experiment yielding evidence that (a) the IV has the intended effect on the DV, and (b) the experimental groups are contrasted in terms of the MC is taken as providing cogent evidence for the claimed causal relationship.…”

“…In our opinion, publications that provide guidance on methodological matters do not sufficiently warn against the non-informative value of MCs for construct validity (but see O'Keefe, 2003, for an exception). They either fail to discuss MCs (e.g., Reis & Judd, 2014) or mention their potentially informative function-for instance when results contradict the predictions-while remaining silent about other cases (Wilson, Aronson, & Carlsmith, 2010). Some even advocate their use by considering that a MC is an essential element for asserting internal and construct validity of an experiment (Flake, Pek, & Hehman, 2017;Foschi, 2014).…”

“…After identifying the products, discounts and prizes that are most common in the market, this study conducted descriptive research that culminated in the selection of the product that was found to be the most familiar and realistic from the view of the study participants, which is essential to ensure both the internal and external validity of a laboratory experiment (Wilson, Aronson, & Carlsmith, 2010).…”

This paper aims to analyze the influence sales promotion types have on the relationship between perception of financial risk and perception of utilitarian and hedonic value on consumer purchase intentions. To this end, an experiment was conducted involving 589 participants divided into two groups defined by distinct scenarios in which the sales promotion type (monetary vs. non-monetary) was manipulated. The working hypotheses predicted a direct and positive relationship between the perception of (hedonic and utilitarian) consumption value and purchase intention for a promoted product and a negative relationship between the perception of consumption value and the perception of financial risk. In addition, it was supposed that the sales promotion type would moderate these direct relationships and that a monetary promotion would have a stronger effect on the relationship between purchase intention and perceived product utility, whereas a non-monetary promotion would have a stronger effect on the other relationships (hedonic value and financial risk perceptions). Analysis of the outcomes supported the proposed hypotheses.

“…Also, we debriefed participants at the end of the experimental procedure and rewarded them with confectionary. We will begin with an examination of the causal link between boredom and nostalgia (Studies 1-3; Wilson et al, 2010).…”

We formulated, tested and supported, in six studies, a theoretical model according to which individuals use nostalgia as a way to re-inject meaningfulness in their lives when they experience boredom. Studies 1-3 established that induced boredom causes increases in nostalgia, when participants have the opportunity to revert to their past. Studies 4-5 examined search for meaning as a mediator of the effect of boredom on nostalgia. Specifically, Study 4showed that search for meaning mediates the effect of state boredom on nostalgic memory content, whereas Study 5 demonstrated that search for meaning mediates the effect of dispositional boredom on dispositional nostalgia. Finally, Study 6 examined the meaning reestablishment potential of nostalgia during boredom: nostalgia mediates the effect of boredom on sense of meaningfulness and presence of meaning in one's life. Nostalgia counteracts the meaninglessness that individuals experience when they are bored.
