“…The generalization of the assumptions about decisionmaking is the statement of the authors Socha and Beck (2015). They argue that there are a number of theories and models that are divided into decision-making processes and decision-making strategies.…”

“…However, some authors pointed in their statements directly to the connection between the concepts of purchasing behavior and decision-making. These authors include Socha and Beck (2015). They argue that when examining purchasing behavior, we should focus on those decisionmaking processes and strategies that affect the customer's position in the market environment.…”

In the current market environment, the actual dynamics of the application of internal corporate factors is differentiated. The company thus tries to influence customers’ shopping behavior as effectively as possible. Therefore, it is important for the company to be able to adapt to these changes as effectively as possible. The purpose of the article is to analyze the factors influencing consumer behavior in the market conditions of the Slovak Republic. We described the current situation by a survey, which we conducted in 2020–2021. Among the selected categorical variables, we verified the dependence in two hypotheses by the statistical method of Pearson’s Chi-Square test. Using the method, we pointed out the factors that influence consumer behavior and can be important for change management. We compared the results of the survey with the results of similar surveys conducted abroad. Accepting the results of the survey, we proposed a general model of change management in the discussion part of the article. The model is thus a practical implication for companies with a differentiated subject of business. It also takes into account the behavioral characteristics that the company should adapt to in the current situation in order to achieve its strategic goals.

“…Positive communication describes verbal and nonverbal messages that positively influence human connections (Mirivel, 2014;Socha, 2019). This framework originated in psychology but has since expanded into the communication discipline, particularly with interpersonal scholars (Socha and Beck, 2015). Positive communication serves as a comprehensive framework because it draws from robust literature (Socha and Beck, 2015) in wellness, resilience, social support, and interpersonal communication (McCaffrey et al, 2011;Mirivel, 2014;Pitts and Socha, 2013;Socha, 2019).…”

As a theoretical framework, positive communication not only might explain communication conflicts in Western Cape communities but also may bridge the gap between social groups, and as a result, increase the community's overall health and well-being.…”

Young South Africans who live in contexts of poverty face many challenges and obstacles in their attempts to rise out of their circumstances. However, adding support in the form of well-being teams who take ownership of promoting well-being may facilitate resilience and serve an important supportive function. Four different well-being teams participated in a focus group interview. They consisted of teachers, learners, parents, and a mixed group. The theory of positive communication provided a framework to understand the themes that emerged. Therefore, in an effort to level the playing field for these young South Africans, the educational system should create more spaces that enable and facilitate learning and that promote positive communication.

“…First, extending savoring, a positive psychology construct, into the fields of communication and language and social psychology facilitates a necessary move toward the bright side. The bright-side movement recognizes the importance of human interaction in fulfilling human potential, generating the good life, and flourishing (Pitts & Socha, 2013; Socha & Beck, 2015; Socha & Pitts, 2012; see also Seligman, 2011). Second, operationalizing the social and communicative dimensions of savoring is the first step in building research designed to measure, test, and define its boundaries.…”

The Language and Social Psychology of Savoring: Advancing the Communication Savoring Model

Savoring is a well-established construct in positive psychology referring to one’s capacity to recognize and appreciate enjoyable life experiences. Guided by phenomenological inquiry and constructivist grounded theory, I propose communication savoring as a new dimension of social savoring that has theoretical and practical relevance in the fields of positive communication and language and social psychology. Evidence is drawn from young adults’ narrative descriptions of communication moments they savored. From these narratives, I proffer a typology of communication savoring that includes aesthetic communication, communication presence, nonverbal communication, recognition and acknowledgment, relational communication, extraordinary communication, and implicitly shared communication. I also describe the phenomenological experiences of savoring social interactions in the past, present, and future. To advance the communication model of savoring, I offer initial conceptual and operational definitions of communication savoring and recommend future directions for research within interpersonal and intergroup relationships.
