讲座内容摘要：

The present research explores the relationship between consumers’ fixed/growth mindsets and acquisition/consumption in ownership vs. rentership mode, through the lens of consumers’ connectedness to future selves. Evidence from study 1 demonstrates that consumers’ preference for consumption mode is moderated by their fixed vs. growth mindset, and mediated by consumer connectedness to future selves. Study 2 elucidates the asymmetrical effect of shopping goals, showing that consumers with growth (fixed) mindset prefer renting to owning (owning to renting) in experiential (utilitarian) purchase. Studies 3a and 3b attempt to establish the ecologic validity, showing how actual consumer choice of ownership/rentership is associated with their mindsets. Study 4 offers robustness evidence, demonstrating that activating consumer mindset, primed by proverbs (Study 4a) or by advertising framing (Study 4b), influences behavioral outcomes in the choice of ownership vs. rentership. These findings help understand and profile transumers who possess a growth mindsetthatassumes a continuously changing identity and goals in life. Because of their low connectedness to future selves and their focus on consumption process more than consumption outcome, transumers tend to keep up with the fashionable life with ephemeral value and hedonic experiences, while forgoing the long-term ownership.

本研究从消费者与未来自我联系的角度入手，分析了消费者固定型/成长型思维模式与所有权/租赁权购买消费模式之间的关系。研究1表明消费者对消费模式的偏好受到其固定型/成长型思维模式的调节，而消费者与未来自我的联系起到中介作用；研究2发现购物目标具有不对称效应，在体验型（实用型）购买中，具有成长型（固定型）思维模式的消费者更倾向于租赁消费而非所有权消费（所有权消费而非租赁消费）；研究3a和3b通过构建生态效度，证明消费者选择所有权/租赁消费模式与思维模式相关；研究4证明在谚语（研究4a）和广告框架（研究4b）的引导下，激活消费者思维模式会影响其所有权/租赁消费选择中的行为结果。以上发现有助于理解和剖析拥有成长型思维模式的瞬时消费者，由于其与未来自我联系较少，且更关注消费过程而非消费结果，因此瞬时消费者倾向于选择具有短期价值和享乐体验的生活模式，而不追求长期所有权。
