Consumer Reaction

Rate fences are integral to the practice of revenue management. Prior research suggests that cross-cultural differences in consumer reaction to rate fences exist but little is known about why this is so. This research employed two experimental studies with consumers from the United States and South Korea to explore the mechanisms underlying cultural differences in consumer reaction to nonphysical and physical rate fences. In Study 1, we found that feelings of reactance mediate the restriction-based nonphysical rate fence-willingness to book relationship for highly individualistic cultures, but not for highly collectivist cultures. Study 2’s findings suggest that consumers from low-context cultures favor product-based, over service-based, physical rate fences, while consumers from high-context cultures are unlikely to react differently to product-based, and service-based, physical rate fences. Together, the findings of Study 1 and Study 2 provide tourism managers a framework within which geolocation-based pricing strategies, and associated rate fences, can be evaluated.

Autistic People

Although stigma negatively impacts autistic people globally, the degree of stigma varies across cultures. Prior research suggests that stigma may be higher in cultures with more collectivistic orientations. This study aimed to identify cultural values and other individual differences that contribute to cross-cultural differences in autism stigma (assessed with a social distance scale) between college students in Lebanon ( n = 556) and those in the United States ( n = 520). Replicating prior work, stigma was lower in women than men and in the United States relative to Lebanon. Heightened autism knowledge, quality of contact with autistic people, openness to experience, and reduced acceptance of inequality predicted lower stigma. Collectivism was not associated with heightened stigma. Findings highlight the need to address structural inequalities, combat harmful misconceptions, and foster positive contact to combat stigma.
