Abstract Vom Untergang zur See zu handeln, führt in der westlichen Erzähltradition seit Homer auf kosmologische und existentielle, politische und ökonomische Belange. Will man von einem regelrechten ,,Schiffbruch-Narrativ“ sprechen, dann ist dieses nicht nur durch eine longue durée motivischer und struktureller Beständigkeit ausgezeichnet, sondern auch durch einen hohen Grad an sprachlich-formaler Selbstreflexivität und seit der Neuzeit durch die Engführung nautischer mit poetischen Innovationen. Wendepunkte markiert das Scheitern nunmehr in seefahrts- und auch literaturhistorischer Hinsicht, weshalb man, wie im Portugal der Entdeckerzeit, von einem maritimen ,,discurso“ sprechen kann.In the Western narrative tradition since Homer, relating to sea losses leads to cosmological and existential, political and economic concerns. The ,,shipwreck narrative“ is characterized by a long-lasting motivic and structural consistency. But furthermore, it exhibits a high degree of linguistic and formal self-reflexiveness, and since modern times, it brings together nautical with poetic innovations. The sinking now marks turning points in terms of maritime navigation as well as literary history, which is why, as in Portugal of the time of discovery, one can speak of a maritime ,,discurso“.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the “virtual try-on” technology (AR) and the “3D virtual store” (VR) incorporated in an apparel retail website on purchase intentions. This study highlights the mediating role of cognitive elaboration in the process through which these technologies influence purchase intentions, and examines the way consumers’ shopping goals (searching vs. browsing) interact with the website technology and influence their responses. The two experiments demonstrated that, for browsers, the website with VR was more effective in increasing purchase intentions than were the website with AR or a regular website with no technology, while for searchers, both the website with AR and the website with VR were more effective than was a regular website. In addition, cognitive elaboration mediated the interaction between a technology and a shopping goal on purchase intentions for browsers, while such a mediating effect was not found in searchers.

Presidential Debate

One mechanism by which citizens learn about candidates and issues is through watching presidential debates. Some scholars have raised concerns that these events, however, disproportionately benefit those already high in political knowledge more so than others with lesser knowledge levels. We hypothesize that knowledge begets knowledge because it prompts a constructive cognitive process that results from elaboration and reflection. We test this hypothesis in an experiment that also considers whether issue priming could help mitigate the deficit that those lower in political sophistication have when viewing campaign events. Participants ( N = 543) watched a 9-minute segment focusing on economic issues drawn from the first 2020 presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joseph Biden. Half of the participants were randomly assigned to an issue priming condition and viewed the debate segment after reading a narrative text on economic policy, and the other half read an unrelated text. The study presents a model that reveals the following: (a) cognitive elaboration mediates the relationship between prior political knowledge and learning from a campaign event, (b) providing citizens with background issue–related knowledge produces a similar elaborative effect as did preexisting political knowledge, and (c) participants demonstrate greater political opinion articulation following this enhanced elaboration leading to more learning. The implications for cultivating a knowledgeable democratic electorate are discussed.

Drawing on construal-level theory, this study explored how a sense of psychological distance from an accident influences people’s willingness to help victims. We conducted a scenario experiment with a sample of 81 Japanese undergraduates. Participants were presented with a short scenario describing an accident that happened on either a distant or a nearby mountain. The results show that the greater the distance perceived by participants from the accident, the more likely they were to infer negative traits about the victim at an implicit level. However, the more they inferred negative traits at an implicit level, the more likely they were to attribute the cause of the accident to external situational factors, at an explicit level. Finally, explicit external causal attribution aroused greater sympathy for the victim, resulting in an increased willingness to help. This discrepancy between implicit and explicit inferences was discussed in terms of cognitive elaboration, in which people engage in helping behaviors when they feel responsible for the fate of the victim.
