How Self-Production Increases Feelings of Groundedness
Across lab and field studies, we uncover a novel psychological benefit of engaging in self-production, namely increased feelings of groundedness—defined as feelings of deep connectedness to one’s social, historical, and physical environment. We also illuminate how brands can generate vicarious feelings of self-production, and thus increase groundedness.
