Abstract

This article examines the neuroethical considerations associated with the growing use of neuromarketing in contemporary marketing practice. Advances in neuroscience and technologies such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and eye-tracking have enabled marketers to gain deeper insights into consumers’ subconscious responses. While these developments offer significant opportunities for improving marketing effectiveness, they also raise important ethical concerns related to consumer autonomy, privacy, and potential manipulation. Using a narrative literature review, this study synthesizes insights from marketing, neuroscience, and ethics to identify key ethical themes, including the protection of autonomy, risks of exploitation, data privacy, and the need for transparency and accountability. The article further explores neuroethical risks in practice, such as misuse of neural data and ethical issues involving vulnerable populations. Based on these findings, a neuroethical framework is proposed, grounded in the principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. This framework provides guidance for responsible research and application in neuromarketing. The study contributes by integrating ethical theory with marketing practice and offers practical implications for organizations seeking to adopt neuromarketing responsibly. Future research should focus on empirical validation and cross-cultural applications of the framework.

Abstract

This article examines the concept of conspicuous conservation, focusing on how sustainable brand choices function as signals of identity and social status in contemporary consumer behavior. As sustainability becomes increasingly visible in the marketplace, consumers are not only motivated by environmental concerns but also by the desire to express values and gain social recognition. Using a narrative literature review, this study integrates insights from marketing, sociology, and consumer psychology to explore the dual role of sustainable consumption as both ethical behavior and symbolic signaling. The findings highlight key themes, including sustainability as identity expression, status signaling through ethical consumption, the role of visibility, and the tension between intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. The study further explains the mechanisms of conspicuous conservation, emphasizing the importance of social comparison, cultural context, and public visibility in shaping consumer behavior. In addition, several moderating factors are identified, such as income, cultural norms, brand credibility, and consumer awareness. A conceptual framework is proposed to illustrate how sustainable choices translate into social recognition and consumer outcomes. The article contributes by linking sustainability with signaling theory and offers practical implications for designing authentic and effective sustainable branding strategies.

Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of algorithmic aversion and the factors influencing consumer trust and adoption of AI-generated recommendations, particularly in high-involvement categories such as finance, healthcare, and education. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in decision-making processes, consumers are often faced with the challenge of relying on algorithmic systems for complex and high-stakes decisions. Using a narrative literature review, this study synthesizes insights from marketing, information systems, and consumer psychology to explore the dual nature of consumer responses, characterized by both algorithmic aversion and appreciation. The findings identify key themes, including the role of trust, perceived competence, transparency, and explainability in shaping acceptance of AI recommendations. The study also highlights the mechanisms underlying algorithmic aversion, such as perceived lack of empathy, sensitivity to errors, and threats to autonomy. In addition, several moderating factors are identified, including involvement level, consumer expertise, trust in technology, and cultural context. A conceptual framework is proposed to illustrate how these factors interact to influence adoption, reliance, or rejection of AI-generated recommendations. The article contributes by integrating trust theory with algorithmic decision-making and offers practical implications for designing human-centered AI systems.

Abstract

This article examines the temporal dynamics of customer journey emotions and proposes a continuous-time modeling approach to better understand how emotions evolve throughout the customer experience. Traditional customer journey models often rely on static, stage-based representations that fail to capture the continuous and interconnected nature of emotional responses. Drawing on a narrative literature review across marketing, psychology, and data science, this study highlights the importance of viewing emotions as dynamic trajectories shaped by ongoing interactions. Key findings emphasize the role of emotional peaks, troughs, critical moments, and lag effects in influencing overall customer perceptions and behavioral outcomes. The study introduces a continuous-time modeling framework that integrates customer interactions as inputs, emotional state changes as processes, contextual and psychological factors as mediators, and outcomes such as satisfaction and loyalty. Additionally, moderating factors including customer characteristics, interaction channels, timing, and external context are identified as crucial in shaping emotional dynamics. The article contributes theoretically by integrating temporal perspectives with customer experience research and offers practical insights for real-time monitoring and adaptive experience design. Future research should focus on empirical validation and the application of advanced analytics to capture real-time emotional changes in customer journeys.
