Product attachment and replacement: implications for sustainable design (2014, unknown): “Reinforcing this notion, Schifferstein and Zwartkruis-Pelgrim (2008) suggest that product functionality does not contribute to the degree of attachment.”
Emotional bonding with personalised products (2009, methodology): “These variables were chosen based on prior research on treasured and special possessions (Wallendorf and Arnould 1988, Schultz et al. 1989, Dittmar 1991, Richins 1994, Kamptner 1995, Schifferstein et al. 2004, Schifferstein and Zwartkruis-Pelgrim 2008).”
