This research aims to examine how power states and others’ statuses interact to influence status consumption. Specifically, consumers in low-power states are more inclined to engage in status consumption than those in high-power states when others’ statuses are superior. However, consumers in high-power states are more inclined to engage in status consumption than those in low-power states when others’ statuses are inferior. Signaling effectiveness plays a mediating role in the interaction effect of power states and others’ statuses on status consumption. Two studies were conducted to test our hypotheses. Study 1 tested how others’ statuses moderate the effects of power states on status consumption and how signaling effectiveness mediates the moderating role of others’ statuses on the effects of power states on status consumption. Study 2 further tested the two hypotheses in a different scenario through the sense of the power scale used to measure the power state. This research confirms the effects of power states on status consumption depending on others’ statuses and the fundamental mechanism of status consumption. The theoretical contributions and practical implications are of value for both researchers and managers.

The Primary data has been collected through a survey by distributing questionnaires to university students, a total of 330 respondents participated in this research. Various analyses were performed for the analysis of data such as Factor analysis, reliability analysis, and Regression analysis testing hypothesis in SPSS version 18 and AMOS versin 24. Findings revealed that the students who buy counterfeit products viewed social influence and status consumption as a significant influence on their attitude to buy counterfeit of fashion luxury products. Social influence considered the strongest influencing factor for consumer’s attitudes towards counterfeiting. All propsed model of mediation partially supported.

Abstract. This study examined the effects of disclosure messages in entertainment-education (E-E) on attitudes toward hearing protection and attitude toward the source. In addition, the (mediating) role of the underlying mechanisms (i.e., transportation, identification, and counterarguing) was studied. In an experiment (N = 336), three different disclosure messages were compared with a no-disclosure condition. The results show that more explicit disclosure messages negatively affect transportation and identification and stimulate the generation of counterarguments. In addition, the more explicit disclosure messages affect both attitude measures via two of these processes (i.e., transportation and counterarguing). Less explicit disclosure messages do not have this effect. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Abstract. This study investigated the mediating role of coping humor in the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and job satisfaction. Participants were 398 primary school teachers in China, who completed the Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, Coping Humor Scale, and Overall Job Satisfaction Scale. Results showed that coping humor was a significant mediator between EI and job satisfaction. A further examination revealed, however, that coping humor only mediated two sub-dimensions of EI (use of emotion and regulation of emotion) and job satisfaction. Implications for future research and limitations of the study are discussed.
