Attribute Performance and Customer Satisfaction Over Time: Evidence from Two Field Studies

Abstract: Firms measure the importance of an attribute's performance in determining overall satisfaction to allocate resources to optimize profitability. However, most firms assume that an attribute's importance in determining overall satisfaction is temporally invariant. We report results from two studies showing that the importance of an attribute in determining overall satisfaction varies over time. Interestingly, we find that the relationship between overall satisfaction and behavioral intentions also changes over time. These results have important implications for managing customer satisfaction programs among firms.

Family Mediation Patterns and Television Viewing: Young Children's Use and Grasp of the Medium.

Abstract: A sample of kindergarten and first-grade children was studied in a research center and at school to determine the extent to which family communication mediated their comprehension of television, as well as a series of cognitive skills necessary for such comprehension Results indicate that, even when intelligence is controlled for, several cognitive and imaginative skills and particular family interaction styles such as establishment of rules about television or explanation rather than prescription are related to the ability to understand television

Thermally reversible crosslinking of polystyrene via the furan-maleimide diels-alder reaction

Abstract: Mixtures of maleimidomethylated polystyrene with difurfuryl adipate or with furfuryl alcohol-esterified poly[styrene-co-(maleic anhydride)] underwent thermally reversible Diels–Alder crosslinking. Reversal of crosslinking occurred rapidly at 150°C. The instability of the furfuryl group, however, limits the practicability of the reaction. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
