    __Abstract__ The detention experiences of male criminal foreign national prisoners without legal residence receive little attention in penological literature. A qualitative study amongst 30 prisoners with and 16 prisoners without legal residence in the penitentiary institution Tilburg shows that contacts with the social network and the preparation of the reintegration in society are (more) complicated for foreign national prisoners without legal residence. Besides, communication with the staff is more difficult for this group. These factors have negative impact on their detention experiences. The results show that both deprivation and importation theory apply to foreign national prisoners without legal residence. However, importation aspects - especially the lack of legal residence - may substantially and systematically increase the deprivation and result in additional exclusion and isolation mechanisms for this pa

    When biasing cues improve versus bias quality judgments

    Common findings of belief perseverance suggest that a cue that biases consumers’ initial product quality expectations (e.g., prior to product trial) will continue to bias those same judgments at a later point in time (e.g. at the time of repeat purchase). For example, putting a high price on a low quality product might lead not only to a boost in initial quality expectations but also to a continued boost in perceived quality after product trial. However, we recently showed that an initially biasing cue can make quality judgments more accurate at a later point in time relative to a situation in which a biasing cue had never been present. Our previous research did not address the mechanism underlying this “accuracy-enhancing effect of biasing cues." One possibility is that our particular paradigm somehow allowed consumers to update their prior beliefs better than paradigms used by other researchers. However, new results indicate that that is not the case. Instead, the biasing cue serves as a memory cue that helps to remember the quality level of a particular brand that was previously experienced without affecting their more general belief about the price-quality relationship in the product category. One implication is that an initially biasing cue can increase the accuracy for some brands but continue to bias it for others.status: publishe

    Generalizing From Negative Experiences

    No full text
    Consumers often form firm beliefs about the future performance of a vendor based on an initial interaction with that vendor. Research in decision science suggests that generalizing from small samples is ill-advised but nonetheless common. A smaller stream of research indicates sensitivity to the representativeness of a small sample. We argue that perceived representativeness depends on the causal inferences prompted by the nature of the consumption experience. Moreover, such inferences may be so specific to the consumption experience that broad statements about consumers\u27 propensity to generalize from one experience to others may themselves be ill-advised. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
