Can Guilt Be Repaired By Consumption? An Experimental Analysis of Brazilian Mothers
We assume that consumption to benefit children can be a mechanism to mitigate mother´s guilt. Two experiments demonstrate that mothers who feel guilty about their children are more permissive regarding their consumer requests. So guilt propels mothers to perform a reparatory action towards their children, which is achieved through consumption.
