“…In another branch of psychology-reliant research, the overlapping areas of innovation, consumer, and marketing research are also heavily concerned with the phenomenon of novelty. Here, novelty is viewed as central to both product development ( Lewis and Bergin, 2016 ), product value (e.g., Dewett and Williams, 2007 ), and consumer behaviors (e.g., Hirschman, 1980 ), predominantly as something extremely desirable. In Diffusion of Innovations from 1962, Rogers (1983) presented his now extensively adopted theory on how “innovations,” defined as “an idea, practice, or object that is perceived as new by an individual or other unit of adoption” ( Rogers, 1983 : 11), are spread throughout social systems.…”

Research on psychological novelty effects within the fields of Social Robotics and Human-Robot Interaction (together: SHRI) so far has failed to gather the momentum it deserves. With the aid of exemplary descriptions of how psychological novelty is currently approached and researched across (certain main regions of) the larger scientific landscape, I argue that the treatment of novelty effects within the multidisciplinary SHRI reflects larger circumstances of fragmentation and heterogeneity in novelty research in general. I further propose that while the concept of novelty may currently function as a Boundary Object between the contributing domains of SHRI, a properly integrated, interdisciplinary concept of novelty is needed in order to capture and investigate the scope and scale of novelty effects within research on social human-robot interaction. Building on research on the New Ontological Category Hypothesis and related studies, I argue that the novelty of social robots can be understood as radical to the extent that their comprehension requires revisions of traditional core categories of being. In order to investigate the sui generis effects of such novelty, which should not be narrowly understood as mere “noise” in the data, it is paramount that the field of SHRI begin by working out a shared, integrative framework of psychological novelty and novelty effects.

“…The present study operationalizes apparel innovation as the “end-result” of the process, manifested by innovative product attributes perceived by customers. Based on this typology and extant literature on product innovation, we focus on three innovative product attributes that potentially influence customers' buying patterns: product novelty (Lewis and Bergin, 2016), product difference to alternative offerings (Sethi et al , 2001) and product inimitability (Erramilli et al , 2002). These innovative traits correspond to the preliminary cognitive phase (i.e.…”

“…Product novelty is defined as the degree to which customers view a new product as unusual, revolutionary and unconventional in how the product creates a solution (Stock et al , 2015). Product novelty, a situation that prompts customers to perceive a product as unique, original and fresh with new ideas (Lewis and Bergin, 2016), is perhaps the most extensively used variable to assess a product's innovative traits (Sethi and Sethi, 2009). Products might be considered “more novel” due to their exterior appearance, internal structural design or technical benefits (Mugge and Schoormans, 2012).…”

PurposeResearchers have paid little attention to elucidating how customer-perceived innovative apparel attributes are linked to brand reputation and consumer buying behaviors. This study intends to bridge that gap by providing empirical evidence on the effects of product novelty, product difference and product inimitability on brand reputation and behavioral intentions in the context of garment purchasing. We also investigate the moderating effects of self-congruity and value consciousness on the attribute‒brand reputation linkages, as well as their immediate influence on the domain variables.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed model was estimated using data from a web-based survey of 299 female apparel customers. Structural equation modeling was employed to test the relationships between variables.FindingsThe results indicate that product novelty, product inimitability, self-congruity and value consciousness significantly influence brand reputation. The results also demonstrate that self-congruity, value consciousness and brand reputation have direct effects on behavioral intention, while self-congruity and value consciousness appear to moderate the relationship between innovative product attributes and brand reputation.Originality/valueThis study is the first to present a conceptual model that systematically encompasses product innovation, brand perceptions and behavioral links in the field of women's clothing. The findings have important implications for both academics and practitioners in the field of fashion marketing.
