Jain Cmmittee Members: Nidhi Agrawal, Geffrey Lftus (psychlgy), Martin Reimann (University f Arizna) and Ann Schlsser Curisity Can Resist Anything but Temptatin: The Incidental Effects f Curisity n Self-Cntrl; Prpsal, defended n April 11, 2014 Curisity has been described as a feeling f knwledge deprivatin that ccurs when ne is lacking desired infrmatin. This dissertatin shws that when the desired infrmatin remains unavailable, curius individuals will seek ut unrelated rewards. Three empirical studies demnstrate that curisity nt nly prduces a generalized desire fr rewards, but that, when expsed t an indulgent temptatin, this desire reduces self-cntrl. That is t say, curisity acts as an impetus fr self-cntrl failure by making cnsumers unable t resist temptatins. Hwever, I find that implicit theries abut the willpwer t resist temptatins mderates whether r nt ne is susceptible t curisity s influence. This research cntributes t ur theretical understanding f curisity and its implicatin fr cnsumer behavir, and furthers ur understanding f the ptentially negative effects it may have n self-cntrl related utcmes such as indulging in temptatins Publicatins: Wiggin, Kyra, Shailendra P.

6 K y r a W i g g i n _ C V 6 ABSTRACT OF PUBLISHED WORK AND PROJECTS UNDER REVIEW 1) Relatinships amng Lneliness, Interpersnal Dependency, and Disrdered Eating in Yung Adults, in Persnality and Individual Differences This research examines the integral rle f interpersnal dependency and lneliness as antecedents t disrdered eating thughts and behavirs amngst cllege students. This research finds that individuals wh are mre interpersnally dependent may appear t have greater bdy dissatisfactin and that this relatin is largely the result f feelings f lneliness. It builds n previus research that shwed a cnnectin between interpersnally dependency and eating disrders and research linking lneliness t eating disrders by examining the jint effects f these tw variables. Gender differences are als discussed. 2) Attributins fr Failure in Cnsumer-Brand Relatinships: Effects f Self- Verificatin and Self-Enhancement Mtivatins, invited t revise and resubmit at JCP Lyalty rewards prgrams are an effective marketing tl fr fstering cnsumer-brand relatinships. Hwever, smetimes prgrams underg structural changes that may negatively impact custmers ability t successfully achieve their gal f maintaining their membership. Althugh ne might expect that custmers with strnger relatinal self-view ties t the prgram t be mre frgiving, ur research shws that this is nt the case when the situatin results is a near miss shrtfall. In such cases, we find that these custmers experience a feeling f betrayal that leads t a self-serving pattern f attributins in which cnsumers assign mre blame t the brand even when they share respnsibility fr the shrtfall. This is the first research establishing a relatinship between gal pursuit failures, relatinal self-views, and self-serving attributins. 3) Defining Livability: Hw Livable Cmmunities Cntribute t and Benefit frm Scial Chesin, published in Cmmunicating Sustainability fr the Green Ecnmy What makes a cmmunity sustainable? This chapter prpses that it is the livability f that cmmunity and a sense f scial chesin amng cmmunity members. Livable cmmunities are thse that cntribute t the physical, scial, and mental well-being f its inhabitants and prvide an pprtunity fr persnal grwth. It is nt surprising that such cmmunities result in greater pst-selectin satisfactin and decrease the desire fr mbility. Hwever, the prcess thrugh which this ccurs is nt well understd. This chapter demnstrates that, with the exceptin f the need fr safety, the attributes that define a livable cmmunity are nt universal. Using MaxDIFF scaling, I find that three different cnsumer segments emerged that value a cmmunity based n its ability t prvide fr their different needs and desires. It further shws that cnsumers deliberately seek ut cmmunities based n thse needs and that when thse needs are met, livable cmmunities fster scial chesin amngst its inhabitants. That is, members frm a cmmunity-based identity. This further enhances their satisfactin with their cmmunity, which in turn, strengthens their lyalty t their cmmunity and makes that cmmunity sustainable. This study cntributes t sustainability research by establishing a methdlgy and scales fr segmenting cnsumers based n hw they define sustainability.

A review f the extant literature suggests a cntingency view f cmparative advertising effectiveness that rests n three specific factrs stimulus, situatinal, and individual differences. In this chapter, we review hw each f the factrs affects the strength and/r directin f cmparative advertisement effectiveness and synthesize past findings int the prpsed framewrk. Further, we prvide an agenda fr future research in cmparative advertising.
