Based on the Self-Esteem Theory, Gender Theories, the Cognitive Dissonance Theory and the Social Comparison Theory Sabrina Brauneis investigates the relationship between body weight (conceptualized and measured here using the Body Mass Index (BMI)) and skepticism towards advertising. The first study’s findings support a general direct influence of body weight on skepticism towards advertising. The second study finds out that specific products influence the relation of body weight, self-esteem and skepticism towards advertising. The third study discovers seasons as a crucial factor on the relationship. The fourth study shows that overweight models cause higher levels of skepticism towards advertising among normal weight and overweight women.
Economic growth reflects the long-term expansion of the productive potential of the economy. It is generally accepted as a widespread measure of the population’s well-being. Nevertheless the rate of growth of a country does not always represent the real improvement of the domestic behavior as it fails to capture key-aspects such as the environmental sustainability and the benefits of digital transformation. A rapid growth of the GDP brings benefits and costs as those deriving from the globalization and the impact of financial activities. Short-term growth depends on the economic cycles. Even if the growth rates weaken, per-capita income keeps growing. The volume follows the main growth theories and then addresses current issues such as the impact of the digital transformation of the society, the development aid policies as well as the contribution of the sovereign wealth funds. The last part is devoted to the effects on institutions, the perspectives of the Italian economy and the need for changes in the European institutions.

Isabell Koinig examines how a standardized promotional message for a fictitious over-the-counter (OTC) medication is perceived by consumers in four different countries (Austria, Germany, the U.S., and Brazil), and the degree to which it contributes to their self-empowerment. Building on previous research, informative appeals were expected to not only be most appealing, but also to aid consumers in making qualified and reasonable decisions, educating and “empowering” them by strengthening their beliefs in their own capabilities. A field study on three continents revealed mixed promotional messages to be most effective with regard to both ad evaluation and consumer self-empowerment.
