Methodological Strategy

The empirical study of phenomena as evanescent and elusive as emotions raises thorny methodological challenges. Chapter 3 proposes a methodological strategy for inferring emotions from their external representations and for gauging their influence on decision-making. Borrowing techniques from linguistics, psychology, and sociology, the chapter combines qualitative sentiment analysis with an interpretive approach to infer actors’ emotions and their intensity from textual sources. It delineates a number of methodological steps for recovering the cultural, strategic, and individual context of emotions. Moreover, the chapter uses process philosophy to develop a process form of explanation as an alternative to conventional causal and constitutive analysis, neither of which is suitable for theorizing the relationship between emotions and decision-making. This process account is not only able to grasp the dynamic nature of emotions; it is also better suited to trace the influence of emotions on choice behavior.

Through dividing the entire shopping process into three stages: pre-purchase, purchase and post-purchase, this study analyzed the customers' channel choice behavior in each, from perspectives of product quality, Customers and channels. Based on a survey answered by 395 multi-channel shoppers, the findings show that the products' perceptibility and security, is positively associated with the online channel (vs. offline) during the pre-purchase and purchase stages and no significant association in the post-purchase stage. The customers' shopping motivations and network involvements are positively associated with the online channel in the pre-purchase and purchase stages, but the perceived risks are negatively associated with the online channel throughout the entire shopping experience. The channel's usefulness has a significant and positive correlation with the online channel in all three stages of shopping, but the channels' ease-of-use only has a significant and positive impact in the pre-purchase stage and weaker in the other two. The findings provide some useful suggestions for multichannel retailers.

An empirical study of the relationship between brand choice behavior and the distances between ideal points and brands displayed in joint-space configurations revealed five operative models of choice behavior. Seventy-three of 77 individual models were significant and 57 produced significant predictions of future brand choice behavior.
