Putting the Fun in Functionality: Appropriation, Ownership, and Pride
We propose that authentic pride mediates the relationship between consumer technology appropriation and psychological ownership, while hubristic pride strengthens the effect of psychological ownership on economic valuation and word-of-mouth. We further examine consumption context (public versus private) and situation strength (strong versus weak behavioral constraints) as moderators.
