Impact of mobile device usage and temporal distance on consumer post-consumption evaluations: Evidence from TripAdvisor
作者:
Highlights:
• Using star rating and the ratio of positive sentiment represents consumer evaluations.
• Mobile device usage negatively affects consumer evaluations, but temporal distance positively does.
• Extending temporal distance alleviates the negative effect of mobile device usage on consumer evaluations.
• Multiple robustness checks, e.g., instrumental variables, improve the reliability of our conclusions.
• Additional analysis reveals there are asymmetric effects in both rating extremity and text sentiments.
