Investigating the Effect of Components of Consumption Emotions on Service Evaluation
ABSTRACT - We use an experiment to investigate the behavioral reaction component of consumer anger and anxiety during air travel and to show that the impact of these emotions on consumer evaluations is a function of the context specific nature of this component rather than of the overall subjective feeling state. We show that the behavioral reaction component elicited during anger and anxiety varies significantly from behavioral reactions in non-consumption contexts. Further, the impact of these emotions on consumer evaluation of the provider reaction to their emotions is a function of the correspondence between the consumers behavioral reaction and the provider response.
