McColl-Kennedy, Janet and Summers, Jane and Johnson Morgan, Melissa (2001) Evoking the past: exploring nostalgia's relevance to sport consumption. In: Association for Consumer Research 2000 Asia Pacific Conference, 16-18 Mar 2000, Gold Coast, Australia.
Abstract
The phenomenon of evoking the past is known in marketing research literature as nostalgia and a person who is said to be nostalgia-prone, is someone who constantly uses these earlier memories as a reference point for their enjoyment of experiences or their attitudes towards products. This research explores new ground in examining the relevance of nostalgia-proneness to sport consumption. Specifically, the research examines whether nostalgia is an important concept to sport enthusiasts and is worthy of more detailed investigation. It would appear from the depth interviews that people refer to very specific sport related activities, memories, smells, events rather than general feelings about past times. Further work is suggested to develop a sport specific nostalgia scale.
