    Refinement of the Analysis-Holism Scale: A cross-cultural adaptation and validation of two shortened measures of analytic versus holistic thinking in Spain and the United States
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2022-02) Martín Fernández, Manuel; Requero, Blanca; Zhou, Xiaozhou; Gonçalves, Dilney; Santos, David; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Holistic-analytic thinking styles are tools that allow us to process information in different ways as well as serving as strategies that help us navigate the world in the various domains of life,such as making causal attributions or categorizing. The Analysis-Holism Scale (AHS) is a 24-item scale that was developed to examine systematic cognitive differences regarding holistic-analytic thinking style. However,its length could be a potential problem for studies where space and time are limited. The aim of the present research is to assess the psychometric properties of the AHS items in order to assemble two shortened versions. To this end,we considered the assessment of item content conducted by a panel of experts and also the conceptual model and the latent structure of the original measure,preserving its psychometric properties. Across five independent samples (N = 2,254),the full-length scale was shortened to assemble one brief version with 12 items (AHS-12) and another one with only 4 items (AHS-4). Their latent structures were examined conducting a series of confirmatory factor analyses,the measurement invariance of these instruments was assessed across two different cultures (America and Spanish) and validity was examined based on its relationship with other constructs and experimental tasks. The results showed that the latent structures of both shortened versions were stable in different samples,that were invariant across two different cultures,and presented adequate evidence of validity. Hence,the AHS-12 and the AHS-4 can allow researchers a brief and precise evaluation of cognitive styles in contexts where time is limited,with the AHS-12 being a better candidate for the short version of AHS compared to the AHS-4. © 2021 The Author(s)

    Consumers’ choices between products with different uniqueness duration
    (Emerald Group Holdings Ltd., 2021) Calderón Urbina, Susan Danissa; Stamatogiannakis, Antonios; Gonçalves, Dilney; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Purpose: This study aims to introduce the duration of uniqueness,an important dimension of unique products. It studies how choices between products with long versus short duration of uniqueness are influenced by the interaction between pressure and consumers’ need for uniqueness (NFU). Design/methodology/approach: This research uses a multi-method study approach. A pilot field-study tested the novelty and importance of the research by asking retail professionals to predict the choice of a hypothetical consumer. A retrospective study assessed the importance of duration of uniqueness in unique product choices,by asking consumers about a real and recent unique product purchase. Four additional experimental studies directly tested hypotheses by manipulating pressure and by measuring or manipulating uniqueness motivations. Findings: The pilot field-study showed the novelty and relevance of this research for professionals. Study 1 revealed that,retrospectively,uniqueness duration was considered important for the choice of unique products,by high-NFU consumers under pressure. Studies 2 and 3 demonstrated that pressure increases the tendency of high-NFU,but not low-NFU,consumers to choose products with long over short uniqueness duration. Study 4 provided initial evidence for the process behind the effect. Study 5 showed that considerations of uniqueness duration when choosing mediated the effects. Research limitations/implications: The results of the pilot field-study and retrospective study might be affected by recall bias or lay theories. The findings need to be replicated with other sources of pressure and uniqueness. This calls for further research. Practical implications: Results are important for companies marketing unique products and they suggest that pressure-based marketing appeals can be used strategically to increase sales of products with long uniqueness duration but decrease sales of products with short uniqueness duration. Although the research provides these guidelines,managers should consider the ethical implications of pressure strategies. Originality/value: This is the first attempt to empirically investigate the duration of uniqueness. Although extant research has examined choices between products with different degrees of uniqueness,this research studies choice of products with similar degrees of uniqueness,but different uniqueness duration. Thus,this research adds to the scarce literature studying the duration of symbolic benefits. Moreover,although pressure and NFU frequently co-exist in uniqueness consumption settings,this study is the first to study their joint effects. © 2021,Susan Danissa Calderón Urbina,Antonios Stamatogiannakis and Dilney Goncalves.
