讲座内容简介：

Although inspiration is cited as the primary source of creative work, the understanding of inspiration is lacking, as is its effect on individuals’ decision making. The current research sought to parse inspiration as an emotional state and examine its effect on consumers’ minority opinion expression. Minority opinion, an opinion deviating from the majority’s views on an issue, tends to be less expressed. Across five lab experiments (N = 2,193) and an analysis of a secondary data-set from Yelp reviews (N = 2,833,938), we find that inspired (vs. uninspired) consumers are more likely to express minority opinions on various social and consumption-related issues. The effect is robust across different means of eliciting inspiration and alternative marketing and managerial contexts.
