The power of nostalgic emotion: how Hong Kong traditional tong sui influences generation Z's purchase intentions

PurposeOf the studies covering culinary tourism and traditional culture, Generation Z remains an underexplored group despite being the primary consumers of future tourism. Research into young consumers’ motivations is hoped to clarify, protect, and sustain Hong Kong Tong sui among this generation. As such, this study focuses on Generation Z to understand the types of novel experiences Tong sui can create for them, and it is worth exploring in depth the diet that young people are interested in from the perspective of traditional food.Design/methodology/approachBased on Creswell’s guidelines for quantitative research, we investigated the relationships among multiple elements of Hong Kong Tong sui and Generation Z tourists. A corresponding questionnaire was designed to gather information for statistical analysis and contains five sections. The first part solicited basic respondent information. Sections 2–5 presented several key terms (nostalgic emotion, food authenticity, FCV, and purchase intention) to frame the questionnaire in terms of our hypotheses. Items were scored on 7-point Likert-type scales for ease of processing in SPSS 26.0.FindingsAll hypotheses were supported, with nostalgia having the most significant influence on Generation Z’s purchase intentions. Besides, young generations are willing to buy traditional food when exposed to the restaurants or enterprises have nostalgic elements and inspire nostalgia in consumer. Generation Z’s thoughts about food authenticity notably played a more significant role than FCV in terms of the nostalgia of traditional food. In addition, food authenticity and FCV were found to indirectly mediate the relationship between nostalgic emotion and purchase intention.Research limitations/implicationsExamining these types of campaigns geared toward Generation Z tourists to advertise traditional food has enriched this tactic’s applicability. The approach also constructs a foundation to scrutinize the appeal of traditional dishes among young consumer groups to potentially strengthen such food’s influence.Practical implicationsThis study highlights the importance of leveraging nostalgia and understanding the emotional connection that Generation Z has with traditional cuisine. It suggests that enterprises can develop new products or revive traditional recipes that cater to the nostalgic preferences of Generation Z. Marketing innovations, such as using social media influencers, can also be employed to create awareness and generate interest in traditional food. Traditional food can contribute to tourist destinations' promotion and differentiate them from competitors, boosting the tourism and catering industries and creating employment opportunities.Social implicationsThe promotion and preservation of traditional food can contribute to the preservation of cultural identity and heritage. By engaging local communities in culinary initiatives and fostering community pride, traditional food tourism can strengthen the connection to cultural heritage and encourage the preservation of traditional culinary practices. This engagement can lead to sustainable development by promoting local traditions and ensuring the participation of the local community in tourism activities.Originality/valueThis study offers novel theoretical insights into traditional food consumption and food marketing, thus narrowing gaps in research on young consumers and traditional food. Results enrich the understanding of Generation Z’s intentions to purchase traditional food by highlighting tourists’ preferences. Guidelines are also provided for the operators on creating nostalgic campaigns that appeal to young generations.

Nostalgic tourists acquiring resilience and emotional solidarity through self-congruity and functional congruity

From the perspective of stimulus–organism–response theory (S-O-R), this study explores whether self-congruity and functional congruity cause tourists to form positive nostalgic emotions toward heritage destinations and whether the nostalgic emotions elicited by tourists’ experiences at heritage destinations promote their physical and mental health resilience, as well as their emotional solidarity with local residents. Data were collected from Daxi Old Street, Lukang Old Street, and Anping Old Street, located in northern, central, and southern Taiwan, respectively. A total of 959 respondents were collected. The research results reveal that self-congruity and functional congruity positively impact tourists’ nostalgic emotions in heritage destinations. Product involvement does not moderate self-congruity's effect on nostalgia, but it does moderate functional congruity's impact. The study also supports the positive influence of nostalgic emotions on both tourist resilience and emotional solidarity in heritage tourism. These findings are crucial for governments and stakeholders planning and managing heritage tourist destinations.

Highlighting the Old in the “New Normal”

Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, a wide ideological gap frustrated an effective response to the health crisis. Whereas most liberals supported protective measures, many conservatives opposed them. Five studies ( Ntotal = 3,090) demonstrate that American and German conservatives’ opposition to COVID-19 measures arose partially from nostalgic emotions. We show that framing COVID-19 measures as a return to the past reduces conservatives’ opposition to face masks and vaccinations. An internal meta-analysis shows that although the overall effect of temporal framing is significant, it is small. This research identifies conservatives’ focus on the past as a theoretically relevant antecedent to their opposition to COVID-19 measures and introduces temporal framing as a small but practically feasible strategy to reduce such opposition.

Designing a Paradigmatic Model of Nostalgic Emotions and Preferences of Sports Consumers with a Grounded Theory Approach

Objective: The aim of this research was to design a model of nostalgic emotions and preferences of sports consumers using the grounded theory approach. Methodology: This research is qualitative in nature and applied-developmental in its aim. The participants in the study included academic experts in the field of sports marketing management, managers and executive marketers of sports organizations, and 22 relevant scientific articles, selected for interviews through theoretical sampling. Data analysis was conducted over more than three rounds of interviews until reaching theoretical saturation and consensus on identifying constructs, categories, concepts, and indicators within six constructs: causal conditions, the central and core phenomenon, strategies, contextual and intervening conditions, and outcomes, following the systematic model of Strauss and Corbin. Findings: At the open coding stage, 180 indicators (initial concepts) were identified. In axial coding, considering the semantic proximity of the identified concepts, 160 secondary concepts and 31 categories were classified into four main axes (drivers, barriers, stimulants, and requirements) through selective coding, within the six constructs of the Strauss and Corbin paradigmatic model. Conclusion: The results of the study can enhance the awareness of sports marketing managers regarding the optimal development of nostalgic dimensions of sports products and the preferences of sports consumers.

The Interpretation of Women's Discourse in the Movie "Flipped" via the Lens of Eco-Feminism

The novel by Wendelin Van Draanen with the same name serves as the inspiration for the film Flipped . The film portrays the nostalgic emotions between young boys and girls as it narrates a young and lovely love story in America in the early 1960s. At the same time, the film also features the writer's thoughts and consideration of societal contents underlying the development of the natural environment and the image of women. Feminism embodies both the resistance of the underprivileged and the symbol of good nature. As the foundation, this paper explored how well the natural world shaped women's social consciousness and discoursed from the perspective of eco-feminism. Additionally, the paper also discusses the impact of environmental factors that contributed to the film's vivid environmental episodes, pays close attention to the struggles of the female supporting characters in the context of the times, and emphasizes how the environment and even the discourse of women are oppressive. Its statement of the notion that nature and women are linked and mutually reinforcing also provides a fresh viewpoint on the investigation of how women are portrayed in culture. The patriarchal environment's ideas of duality and hierarchical division have been turned on its head.

Innovativeness or Involvement: How Virtual Reality Influences Nostalgic Emotion and Imagery in Travel Intention

This study investigates the impact of immersive Virtual Reality (VR) on consumer travel intentions. While VR’s potential in treating post-travel depression is acknowledged, its influence on destination marketing remains understudied. Using mental imagery as a theoretical framework, the experiment involved 547 Taiwanese and international students who utilized domestic flights to satisfy their travel cravings. Comparing three nostalgic emotions previews (videos, 360 virtual tours, and VR), to examine varying degrees of immersion. The findings reveal that exposure to VR significantly enhances imagery and strengthens travel intentions among participants. Interestingly, VR’s influence on consumer nostalgic emotions and travel intention through imagery is unaffected by innovativeness, but, rather, is affected by the level of involvement experienced. The study carries implications for destination marketers, providing insights into the potential of immersive VR technology. By understanding its impact on travel intentions and leveraging nostalgic emotions, marketers can tailor strategies to specific consumer segments.

Throwback to pre-pandemic days: A photo-elicitation study on organizational nostalgia.

As an unprecedented outbreak, the COVID-19 pandemic has restricted and dramatically changed several respects of life. In terms of working life, the transition to a remote working system has brought several changes and interrupted the continuity between past and present working life. In this case, this adversity has led people to past experiences and memories, and many people have used nostalgia as a crucial resource for alleviating the negative impact of the outbreak. In this context, as a form of nostalgia, the current study particularly investigated memories eliciting organizational nostalgia and antecedents and consequences of organizational nostalgia in the pandemic era. Photo-elicitation interview in general, and participant-driven photo-elicitation in particular, was used as a data collection method. A cross-sectional design was employed for this study. In total, 10 photo-elicitation interviews through 62 photos were carried out with participants in Turkey. The thematic analysis was used for coding and analyzing the interviews. The current study demonstrated that (1) participants feel nostalgic for managers, colleagues, events, job, and working environment-related memories; (2) lack of social connectedness, loneliness, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty triggers pandemic-induced nostalgia; and (3) pandemic-induced organizational nostalgia has an impact on the variety of emotions (regret, hope, pride, freedom, joy, peace, excitement, yearning, gratitude, sadness, and happiness) of employees in the pandemic era. This study contributes to overcoming the lack of studies investigating the nostalgic emotion of employees in the pandemic era and how this emotion might contribute to overcoming the effects of COVID-19.

Various Categories of Nostalgia in the Work The Debut by Anita Brookner

The emotion of nostalgia is universal as far as the opinions of researchers and theorists are concerned. There is not a single individual in the world who is devoid of the feeling of nostalgia. It is a psychological phenomenon, and every individual in the world has been influenced by the feeling. It has distinct definitions based on worldwide experiments. The literature published in psychology, pathology, social science, humanities, science, etc. in the world puts on record different definitions of this complex emotion. Though earlier it was considered a disease, today it is simply a sentiment associated with the past. Throughout the novel The Debut the protagonist, Dr. Ruth Weiss, looks back on her life at the age of forty. Brookner’s use of the flashback techniqueis important from a nostalgic point of view. Her early days’ memories connected to her parents, her grandmother, her school, and teachers remain bitter-sweet. Her childhood memories of family responsibilities, disillusionment with love, feelings of insecurity in the outside world, the loss of loved ones, and so on are all associated with nostalgia. Ruth is mostly nostalgic about her grandmother, and the death of her grandmother seems to be the end of the source of the unselfish love and comfort. Her speechless condition at the death of her grandmother speaks volumes about her psychological state. Though her mother seems harsh, her father is soft on her. The novel explores the daughter-father relationship, friendship, and love. She fails to win the love of Richard and Duplesis, but manages to marry Roddy. But she remains lonely, serving her aged father afterthe death of Roddy. The other characters, Helen, George, Sally, Molly, Roddy, Mr. Dunlop, etc., are also projected as nostalgic figures on different occasions.

Insecure attachment and lower preference for romantic relationship nostalgia predict higher acceptance of infidelity

Recent research on relationship nostalgia, a sentimental longing for the past of one's romantic relationship, has shown to improve commitment, which should protect against infidelity intentions. However, previous research has shown that more insecurely attached persons do not reap the same benefits from the emotion of nostalgia. The current work introduced the concept of relationship nostalgia preference (i.e., the extent to which people would like displays of nostalgia from their romantic partners [e.g., feeling safe and secure like in earlier parts of the relationship]). In Study 1, nostalgia preference's associations with attachment style and relationship quality (satisfaction, etc.) were tested, revealing negative correlations with attachment avoidance and positive correlations with relationship quality. In Study 2, a conditional process model exhibited how avoidant attachment predicted lower nostalgia preference (replicating Study 1), which was related to reduced commitment. Commitment reduction, in turn, predicted higher attitudes toward infidelity and intentions to commit infidelity. Overall, when people are more avoidantly attached, they like relationship nostalgia less, which has downstream negative consequences for their partnerships.

Matei Călinescu-Ion Vianu, Scrisori Din Exil. Corespondenţă Inedită, Editura Humanitas, 2019

Abstract The Book Letters from Exile. Unpublished correspondence is the proof of a long friendship, the letters gathered here revealing scenes, portraits and events that reconfigure the biographies of the two exiled Romanian intellectuals, Matei Călinescu and Ion Vianu. The affective imprint, the vague colour of nostalgic emotion compresses the impediments of spatial distance, the long friendship between the two being the result of reuniting several circumstances, affinities, closeness, because a friendship is strengthened, as we know, by analogies and empathy, tolerance, patience and sincerity, but also from the valences of the modelling and recovering confession. A theme that appears with a significant frequency is the theme of exile, of the rupture of identity, with old and new existential meanings, with difficulties, illusions and disappointments. A recurring topos is that of travel, as many epistolary notations summarize projects of meetings, reunions, trips, planned in detail, trips in real geography and trips on the map of a postmodern imaginary, bearing the imprint of intercultural dialogue, ideas, references bibliographies, reading sheets, possible conferences and other opportunities for intellectual debates that, for us today, do not mean so much anymore.

Authentic food experiences bring us back to the past: an investigation of a local food night market

ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the authenticity-nostalgia nexus in food tourism experiences. Analysis of a convenience sample of 399 tourists visiting Hong Kung Night Market, a local food night market in Macao, revealed that both perceived food and atmosphere authenticity can trigger nostalgic emotion, which in turn enhances attitudes toward local food and gastronomy destination image, thus alluring tourists to return. Furthermore, the influence of atmosphere authenticity on nostalgic emotions is stronger for more experienced tourists. The results suggest that authentic and nostalgic cues should be leveraged to attract and retain tourists by DMOs and night market organizers.
