The temporal and focal dynamics of volitional reconsumption: A phenomenological investigation of repeated hedonic experiences
Russell and Levy interviewed consumers about experiences they chose to have again, including rereading books, rewatching movies and revisiting places. They identified five dominant categories and described how consumers move within and between repeated experiences in a responsive, controlled way that serves the emotional outcomes they want, links past, present and future, and brings deeper insight into the object and a sense of their own growth in understanding. Reading depth: abstract only; no figures beyond the five categories used.
