“…The online survey platform Qualtrics was used to design an online survey, which was distributed via Mechanical Turk (www.mturk.com), an online crowdsourcing platform where participants can get paid if they complete an online survey (Ross, Irani, Silberman, Zaldivar, & Tomlinson, 2010). For the qualification check, the survey asked respondents to pick an online store that they most recently visited, and used respondents picked Amazon.com from a list.…”

Online store environments have changed due to advancements in broadband speed and web development technologies. Despite the widespread real-time interactive features in online stores, social cues have been overlooked in a great number of taxonomies of online store atmospheric cues. To fill the gap, this study considers social cues with other atmospheric cues (i.e., visual, information, and navigation) in the taxonomy, and examines critical atmospheric cues that can generate a pleasure emotional response. The study also investigates whether the pleasure emotional response can lead to the approach behavior of consumers. Amazon.com, the U.S. top online pure player, is used as the specific research setting, and the results demonstrate that all atmospheric cues except visual cues can generate the pleasure emotional response. The pleasure emotional response turned out to be a significant predictor of the approach behavior.

“…In order to identify stable, consistent attributes of user privacy expectations, the survey was conducted four times during 2013-2014. 1 Though use of Mechanical Turk (mTurk) for survey deployment has been criticized (Lease et al 2013;Ross et al 2010), studies have shown that mTurk workers are more representative of the U.S. population than the samples often used in social science research (Behrend et al 2011;Berinsky, Huber, and Lenz 2012).…”

“…We selected India as the second country for three reasons. First, both the USA and India have large numbers of users on Amazon Mechanical Turk (a website that can be used for participant recruitment), making it feasible to obtain large samples (Ross, Irani, Silberman, Zaldivar, & Tomlinson, 2010). Second, India has a large English-speaking population (in fact, English is the subsidiary official language; Department of Official Language, 2011), and this population might be given tests that are written in English because validated tests in the person's first language may not exist.…”

Is sadness blue? The problem of using figurative language for emotions on psychological tests

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Psychological tests sometimes include figurative language like I feel blue. However, figurative language may not mean the same thing cross-culturally. Previous research found cross-cultural evidence for 14 conceptual metaphors and metonymies for emotions (e.g., sadness is blue). Our two studies asked participants (total n = 795) in the USA and India whether happiness, sadness, anger, and fear are associated with certain descriptors (blue, down, bright, etc.). Most participants in both countries endorsed ten of the 14 hypothesized associations; however, the percentage of participants endorsing an association was often far from 100 %. For example, in the USA, only 71.7 % associated hot with anger and only 65.9 % associated blue with sadness. Moreover, descriptors were often associated with more than one emotion. Furthermore, only two associations (happiness is up and bright) were endorsed by more than 90 % of participants in both countries and had descriptors that were not associated with additional emotions. We conclude that figurative language is often ambiguous and should be used with caution on psychological tests unless there is evidence the language is understood cross-culturally. Advice to this effect is currently lacking from psychometrics textbooks and should be added.
