Exploring small area demand for grocery retailers in tourist areas
Get PDFNewing, A., Clarke, G.P. and Clarke, M. 2014. Exploring small area demand for grocery retailers in tourist areas. Tourism Economics, 20(2), pp.407-427This paper uses data from a major loyalty card scheme to draw insights about the characteristics of grocery expenditure by tourists. The authors explore the volume, value and composition of store based visitor expenditure using consumer data from the loyalty card scheme. They focus on grocery spending at selected stores in Cornwall, a popular tourist destination in South West England. Theloyalty card data provide a valuable source rarely available for academic investigations. The authors are able to analyse visitor spend by socio-economic and geodemographic characteristics, drawing a range of comparisons with residential demand from within the store catchment areas. They demonstrate that visitor grocery expenditure is complex and varies by store, destination and type of customer. The paper presents evidence to suggest that the current approaches used to estimate sales uplift and local-level economic impact from visitor demand are unable to account for the complexities of this form of expenditure. Based on these insights, the authors recommend that sophisticated modelling is employed to estimate the impact of visitor expenditure

Breena Clarke 42nd Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textBreena Clarke’s debut novel, River, Cross My Heart, was an October 1999 Oprah Book Club selection. Clarke, a native of Washington, D.C., is the recipient of the 1999 award for fiction by the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association and the Alex Award, given by the Young Adult Library Services Association. Clarke, who survived the death of her only child, writes with depth and clarity about grief. Her work is marked by compassion and magnificent use of language. Fascinated by the vast array of small and insignificant objects that contain finely detailed denigrating images of African-Americans, Clarke is a passionate collector of black memorabilia. A graduate of Howard University, Clarke is co-author with Glenda Dickerson of “Remembering Aunt Jemima: A Menstrual Show,” which is included in Contemporary Plays by Women of Color and Colored Contradictions, An Anthology of Contemporary African-American Plays. Her short fiction is included in Black Silk, A Collection of African American Erotica, and Street Lights: Illuminating Tales of the Urban Black Experience. Her recollections are included in “Growing Up In Washington, D.C., An Oral History,” published by the Historical Society of Washington, D.C
Defining Altruism
No full textThis Excel spreadsheet contains the raw data used for a structured review of the precise definitions of altruism in full-length books in English with the word ‘altruism’, ‘altruist’, or ‘altruistic’ in the title or subtitle, available from WorldCat as of June 2, 2024, that were written by an author with a terminal academic degree who held an academic position. Excluded were books about biological altruism, self-published books, biographies, books in which psychological altruism was not a primary subject (such as books about organ donation or neurobiology), and book-length compilations of works by many authors with different viewpoints (such as edited books, encyclopaedias, compendiums, and symposium and conference proceedings or transactions). Theses that were published were included, on the premise that the successful doctoral student was supervised by a qualified academic supervisor in an academic setting. The dataset lists 30 definitions, their sources, the authors' academic disciplines. and classifications in eight concept areas

Tailoring communications to individual differences may be promising. One such individual difference is motivational orientation. This scoping review aimed to describe the nature and extent of research analyzing the moderating role of motivational orientation (described by Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory) in the relative effectiveness of gain- and loss-framed health messages. METHODS: Studies were included in the scoping review if they were systematic reviews or experimental studies in which the message frame was manipulated, the outcome variable was related to health behavior, and motivational orientation was measured as a possible predictor. Databases (Academic Search Ultimate, PsycInfo, PubMed), search engines (Google Scholar), and citation snowballing were used to identify studies. Study characteristics were extracted from each article selected for inclusion. RESULTS: A total of 20 experimental publications and 1 systematic review were selected for inclusion. Most studies provided moderate to strong support for matching message framing to motivational orientation to improve message effectiveness, but there was considerable variation in the terminology used by the studies. DISCUSSION: This scoping review, while not exhaustive, provides an overview of this heterogenous body of work. Efforts to synthesize findings through systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and the development of an overarching framework may help advance scholarly efforts in this field
