Forgiveness from Emotion Fit: Emotional Frame, Consumer Emotion, and Feeling-Right in Consumer Decision to Forgive
Three studies examine an emotion fit effect in the crisis communication, namely, the interaction between emotional frames of guilt and shame and consumer emotions of anger and fear on consumer forgiveness. Guilt-framing communication results in higher forgiveness than shame-framing for angry consumers, whereas shame-framing communication results in higher forgiveness than guilt-framing for fearful consumers. These effects are driven by consumers’ accessible regulatory foci associated with anger/fear and guilt/shame. Specifically, feelings of anger activate a promotion focus that is represented by guilt frames, while feelings of fear activate a prevention focus that is enacted by shame frames. Compared with emotion nonfit (i.e., anger to shame and fear to guilt), emotion fit (i.e., anger to guilt and fear to shame) facilitates greater feeling-right and consumer forgiveness. The findings offer novel insights for extant literature on emotion, crisis communication, and regulatory focus theory, as well as practical suggestions regarding the emotional frames
Phase diagram and exotic spin-spin correlations of anisotropic Ising model on the Sierpi\'nski gasket
The anisotropic antiferromagnetic Ising model on the fractal Sierpi\'{n}ski
gasket is intensively studied, and a number of exotic properties are disclosed.
The ground state phase diagram in the plane of magnetic field-interaction of
the system is obtained. The thermodynamic properties of the three plateau
phases are probed by exploring the temperature-dependence of magnetization,
specific heat, susceptibility and spin-spin correlations. No phase transitions
are observed in this model. In the absence of a magnetic field, the unusual
temperature dependence of the spin correlation length is obtained with JJ, and an interesting crossover behavior between different
phases at JJ is unveiled, whose dynamics can be described by the
JJ-dependence of the specific heat, susceptibility and spin
correlation functions. The exotic spin-spin correlation patterns that share the
same special rotational symmetry as that of the Sierpi\'{n}ski gasket are
obtained in both the plateau disordered phase and the plateau
partially ordered ferrimagnetic phase. Moreover, a quantum scheme is formulated
to study the thermodynamics of the fractal Sierpi\'{n}ski gasket with
Heisenberg interactions. We find that the unusual temperature dependence of the
correlation length remains intact in a small quantum fluctuation.Comment: 9 pages, 12 figure
Lecture Notes on Generalized Symmetries and Applications
In this lecture note, we give a basic introduction to the rapidly developing
concepts of generalized symmetries, from the perspectives of both high energy
physics and condensed matter physics. In particular, we emphasize on the
(invertible) higher-form and higher-group symmetries. For the physical
applications, we discuss the geometric engineering of QFTs in string theory and
the symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in condensed matter physics.
The lecture note is based on a short course on generalized symmetries,
jointly given by Yi-Nan Wang and Qing-Rui Wang in Feb. 2023, which took place
at School of Physics, Peking University
