For courses in Consumer Behavior. Beyond Consumer Behavior: How Buying Habits Shape IdentitySolomons Consumer Behavior: Buying, Having, and Being deepens the study of consumer behavior into an investigation of how having (or not having) certain products affects our lives. Solomon looks at how possessions influence how we feel about ourselves and each other, especially in the canon of social media and the digital age. In the Twelfth Edition, Solomon has revised and updated the content to reflect major marketing trends and changes that impact the study of consumer behavior. Since we are all consumers, many of the topics have both professional and personal relevance to students, making it easy to apply them outside of the classroom. The updated text is rich with up-to-the-minute discussions on a range of topics such as Dadvertising, Meerkating, and the Digital Self to maintain an edge in the fluid and evolving field of consumer behavior.

Questo studio qualitativo ha utilizzato metodi narrativi per portare alla luce le esperienze vissute da cinque cittadini afghani musulmani. Questi partecipanti sono immigrati negli Stati Uniti mentre prestavano servizio come interpreti e traduttori per le forze della coalizione durante la guerra in Afghanistan tra il 2003 e il 2012. Diversi ricercatori hanno esaminato l'immigrazione musulmana dalle nazioni orientali a quelle occidentali, concentrandosi sul loro adattamento, sull'assimilazione e sui modelli di sviluppo. L'obiettivo di questo studio era leggermente diverso e importante per le scienze sociali, in quanto si concentrava sul modo in cui un gruppo selezionato di maschi musulmani afghani concettualizzava il proprio senso di identità e su come la loro nozione di identità fosse modellata e influenzata dalle loro esperienze pre e post-migrazione. A tal fine, le scoperte di questo studio hanno rivelato che la natura delle identità per molti di loro può essere considerata più mista e in alcuni casi rinegoziata, mantenendo parti della loro identità nativa e abbracciando aspetti degli elementi culturali, etnici e sociali della loro nuova terra di accoglienza che si adattano al loro quadro di riferimento individuale.

In dieser qualitativen Forschungsstudie wurden narrative Methoden eingesetzt, um die Lebenserfahrungen von fünf afghanischen muslimischen männlichen Staatsbürgern zu ergründen. Diese Teilnehmer sind in die USA eingewandert, als sie zwischen 2003 und 2012 als Dolmetscher und Übersetzer für die Koalitionsstreitkräfte während des Afghanistankrieges tätig waren. Mehrere Forscher haben die muslimische Einwanderung aus östlichen in westliche Länder untersucht und sich dabei auf deren Anpassung, Assimilation und Entwicklungsmuster konzentriert. Das Forschungsziel dieser Studie war insofern etwas anders und für die Sozialwissenschaft wichtig, als sie sich darauf konzentrierte, wie eine ausgewählte Gruppe afghanischer muslimischer Männer ihr eigenes Identitätsgefühl konzeptualisierte und wie ihre Vorstellung von Identität durch ihre eigenen Erfahrungen vor und nach der Migration geprägt und beeinflusst wurde. Zu diesem Zweck haben die Ergebnisse dieser Studie gezeigt, dass die Identität vieler Studienteilnehmer eher als gemischt und in einigen Fällen als neu ausgehandelt angesehen werden kann, wobei sie Teile ihrer einheimischen Kernidentität beibehalten und gleichzeitig Aspekte der kulturellen, ethnischen und sozialen Elemente ihres neuen Gastlandes aufnehmen, die in ihren eigenen individuellen Bezugsrahmen passen.

Este estudo de investigação qualitativa utilizou métodos narrativos para desvendar as experiências vividas por cinco cidadãos afegãos muçulmanos do sexo masculino. Estes participantes imigraram para os EUA enquanto trabalhavam como intérpretes e tradutores para as forças da coligação durante a Guerra do Afeganistão, entre 2003 e 2012. Vários investigadores examinaram a imigração muçulmana das nações orientais para as ocidentais, centrando-se na sua adaptação, assimilação e padrões de desenvolvimento. O objetivo de investigação deste estudo era ligeiramente diferente e importante para a ciência social, na medida em que se centrava na forma como um grupo selecionado de homens muçulmanos afegãos conceptualizava o seu próprio sentido de identidade e como a sua noção de identidade era moldada e influenciada pelas suas próprias experiências pré e pós-migração. Para tal, as descobertas deste estudo revelaram que a natureza das identidades de muitos dos participantes pode ser considerada mais mista e, nalguns casos, renegociada, mantendo partes das suas identidades nativas nucleares e, ao mesmo tempo, abraçando aspectos dos elementos culturais, étnicos e sociais da sua nova terra de acolhimento que se enquadram no seu próprio quadro de referência individual.

Cette étude qualitative a utilisé des méthodes narratives pour mettre au jour les expériences vécues par cinq citoyens afghans musulmans. Ces participants ont immigré aux États-Unis alors qu'ils servaient d'interprètes et de traducteurs pour les forces de la coalition pendant la guerre d'Afghanistan entre 2003 et 2012. Plusieurs chercheurs ont étudié l'immigration musulmane des pays de l'Est vers les pays de l'Ouest, en se concentrant sur leur adaptation, leur assimilation et leurs schémas de développement. L'objectif de cette étude était légèrement différent et important pour les sciences sociales en ce sens qu'elle se concentrait sur la manière dont un groupe sélectionné d'hommes musulmans afghans conceptualisait leur propre sens de l'identité et comment leur notion d'identité était façonnée et influencée par leurs propres expériences pré- et post-migratoires. À cette fin, les découvertes faites dans le cadre de cette étude ont révélé que la nature des identités de nombreux participants à l'étude peut être considérée comme plus mixte et, dans certains cas, renégociée, conservant des parties de leur identité autochtone fondamentale tout en embrassant des aspects des éléments culturels, ethniques et sociaux de leur nouvelle terre d'accueil qui correspondent à leur propre cadre de référence individuel.

A smart, hilarious parody of Malcolm Gladwell's bestselling Blink. Stop! Don't think! You already know what this book is about. That is the power of Blank: the power of not actually thinking at all. Using what scientific researchers call 'Extra-Lean Deli Slicing' (or would, if they actually bothered to research it), your brain has already decided whether you're going to like Blank, whether its cover goes with your shirt, and whether it will make you look smart if somebody sees you reading it on the train. Chances are you and your shirt are both liking it a lot, you're going to buy several copies, and you don't even know why! That's why you've absolutely got to read Blank: to find out why your brain keeps doing these wacky things without your permission. In Blank, a hilarious parody of the No. 1 bestseller it looks eerily like (and sort of rhymes with) and that your brain wisely advised you to just read a review or magazine excerpt about while avoiding the actual book itself, the brilliantly impulsive and slightly irresponsible Noah Tall explains how people as diverse as General Custer, Roy Rogers, a semi-famous rock star, and the entire New York City Police Department either won big or lost miserably as a result of their minds going completely blank.
