Lalwani and Adam Duhachek</p> <p><strong>Publication:</strong> <em>Journal of Consumer Research</em>, Vol. 44, No. 1, June 2017</p> <p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>Three studies examine the relation between power distance belief (PDB), the tendency to accept and expect inequalities in society; power, the control one has over valued resources; and charitable giving. Results suggest that the effect of PDB depends on the power held by the donor. In low-PDB contexts, people high (vs. low) in psychological power tend to be more self-focused (vs. other-focused), and this leads them to be less charitable. In high-PDB contexts, however, people high (vs. low) in psychological power tend to be more other-focused (vs. self-focused), and this leads them to be more charitable. The authors also explore several boundary conditions for these relationships and conclude with the implications of these findings.</p> <p><strong>Read full article: </strong><em><a href="https://academic.oup.com/jcr/article/44/1/182/2938886/Power-Distance-Belief-Power-and-Charitable-Giving" target="_blank">Journal of Consumer Research</a></em></p> <p> Tue, 17 Oct 2017 17:51:21 +0000 julie.lapalme@mcgill.ca 67985 at /desautels /desautels/research/desautels-top-tier-publications/journal-consumer-research <p><big>Founded in 1974, the <em><a href="http://www.ejcr.org/" target="_blank">Journal of Consumer Research</a></em> (JCR) publishes scholarly research that describes and explains consumer behavior.

According to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research, feeling guilty might find you comparing calories in different cartons of ice cream. Feeling ashamed might keep you from buying any ice cream in the first place.</p> Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:24:01 +0000 joy.wang@mail.mcgill.ca 63478 at /desautels
