This usage typicality easily reminds people of the product on specific occasions, but may limit product versatility and growth potential in the marketplace. This research aims to explore the possibility that a product with typical usages can extend its usability to atypical usage occasions. By drawing from the theory of self-regulatory focus and schema congruity theory, it is posited that people’s evaluations toward usage context vary by the degree of atypicality of use occasions. Compared with a preventional person, the promotional one’s evaluations of the usage contexts become more favorable because he or she sees greater gains from novelty benefits and fewer losses to risks or uncertainty associated with the moderate increase of atypicality. The relationship between consumers’ evaluations and level of typicality may present an inverted-U shape. For preventional people, their evaluations decrease monotonically as the atypicality increases, which is in accordance with the traditional notion that people generally resist changes that imply more risks and uncertainty. The proposed hypotheses are supported by results from two experiments on product use occasions and complementary products. Our findings may offer directions for marketers to expand their product typical usage context and the expansion of typical product usage context would help sale volume, and give rise to higher profitability.致謝 I 中文摘要 III Abstract IV Tables VIII Figures IX 1 INTRODUCTION 1 2 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND 5 2.1 Typicality of Product Usage Context 5 2.1.1 Product Use Occasions 5 2.1.2 Complementary Products Use Occasions 6 2.2 Schema Congruity Theory 7 2.2.1 Schema 7 2.2.2 Schema Incongruity 8 2.2.3 Discrepancy Hypothesis 9 2.2.4 Moderate Incongruity Effect 10 2.3 Goal-Orientation 11 2.3.1 Self-regulatory Focus Systems 11 2.3.2 Self-regulatory Focus and Typicality 13 3 HYPOTHESES 14 4 METHODOLOGY 16 4.1 Study1 16 4.1.1 Pretest 16 4.1.2 Design, and Procedures 18 4.1.3 Measures 19 4.1.4 Results 21 4.1.5 Discussion 25 4.1 Study2 26 4.2.1 Design, and Procedures 26 4.2.2 Measures 27 4.2.3 Results 28 5 CONCLUSIONS 33 5.1 General Discussion 33 5.2 Theoretical Implications 34 5.3 Managerial Implications 36 5.4 Limitations and Future Research 37 REFERENCE 39 APPENDIX 491216902 bytesapplication/pdf論文使用權限:不同意授權自我調節焦點典型性產品使用情境基模一致性目標導向對非典型產品評價之影響The Effect of Goal-Orientation on Atypical Product Evaluationthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/262811/1/ntu-102-D97741006-1.pdf
