  Product designs that imitate human shapes,such as cellphone cases with ears or smiling backpacks,have become increasingly popular and aroused the attention of marketing researchers.Despite the growing body of the relevant literature,the field of cross-cultural differences in product anthropomorphism has been largely neglected so far.The current research addresses this gap and shows that the cultural variable Collectivism (as opposed to Individualism) increases the level of consumers’ anthropomorphism of products.Four studies demonstrate that this causal relationship exists within a culture (Studies 1a and 1b),across different cultures (Study 2) and that it can be manipulated through priming (Study 3).

本文首先对城市土地集约利用的内涵进行了初步分析,然后遵循城市土地集约利用评价指标选取原则,从压力、状态和响应三方面选取了人口密度、人均建设用地等16个具有代表性的评价指标,构建PSR模型的土地集约利用评价体系,运用灰关联分析法对研究区2000-2010年期间城市土地集约利用进行了综合评价.最后,在对北京市城市土地集约利用评价分析的基础上,提出了几点措施与建议,为北京市构建良好的城市土地利用模式,推
针对城市土地集约利用评价中评价指标体系结果的相对性,以及对生态资源利用和消耗效率考虑不足等问题,本文基于生态足迹理论构建城市土地集约利用的生态效率评价方法,提出生态集约度的概念,通过对比投入、产出的综合生态效率判断城市土地利用的生态集约程度,从基于生态压力的视角定量地评价城市土地集约利用的可持续发展变化趋势,并以天津市2000-2009年为例进行实证,研究结果表明,天津市土地利用生态集约度处于逐渐
