Study Notes
Study 1: Consumer Impatience and Cultural Values
- Examined cultural differences in consumer impatience among bicultural Singaporean participants
- Participants were primed with either Western (U.S.) or Eastern (Singaporean) cultural values through visual collages
- Participants were presented with a hypothetical online shopping scenario where they could choose between standard delivery and expedited delivery
- Willingness to pay for expedited delivery was used as a measure of impatience
- ANOVA was used to analyze the data, examining the main effects and interactions between culture, outcome framing, and regulatory focus on consumer impatience
Study 2: Exposure to Westernization and Dieting
- Investigated the relationship between exposure to Western culture and dieting behaviors among adolescent females
- Participants included Chinese girls in Beijing, Chinese Australian girls, and Caucasian Australian girls
- Exposure to Westernization index was created based on country of residence, birth, parents' birth, and language spoken at home
- Dieting status was categorized into five groups based on reported dieting behavior over the past six months
- Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated and participants were categorized into underweight, normal, overweight, and very overweight groups
- Parental and peer influences on dieting were also measured
- Regression analysis was used to investigate the predictive power of exposure to Westernization on dieting status, controlling for BMI and social influences
- One-way ANOVAs were conducted to compare dieting status, BMI, and social influences among the three participant groups
