Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Consumer purchase honesty and dishonesty

Initial suggestions for topic development
My main initial suggestion is to consult and follow the topic development guidelines, particularly the marking criteria.

Some other suggestions:
 * Use the Overview to explain the key concepts and the problem of interest; consider including an example or scenario
 * Include bullet-points with citations for key points
 * Include at least one link to another related book chapter
 * Include at least one related image with an APA style caption
 * Consider what the take-away messages might be (Conclusion)

Heading suggestion
Hello,

I was recently reading the textbook chapter on 'Individual Emotions' (chapter 14). In the paragraph on guilt, it discussed how guilt arises after the person evaluates his/her actions as a failure. The person who feels guilty focuses what needs to be done to undo the hurtful consequences of their behaviour, often involving making a mends.

I think the function of guilt would play a major role in consumer purchase honesty. Speaking from personal experience - I remember I accidentally walked out of a shop without purchasing a hat and I only realised it was still in my hand when I was about 50m from the shop. The emotion of guilt came over me, and motivated me to return the hat and apologise to the store owner.

You may want to incorporate a heading relating to guilt, and include how the function of guilt may deter people away from purchase dishonesty and towards purchase honesty.

I hope this helps!

Suggestions
It may be helpful for readers to talk about rewards and punishment from an operant conditioning perspective. u3092381

It may be useful to look at the Social Construction of norms in this regard? or Game theory? IF people feel as though someone has been dishonest or cheated them in some way they are much more likely to choose dishonesty as a strategy eg: Payback this could be an interesting way of linking some theory into your book chapter.
