Why do we keep things we don’t use? – Bernadette Kamleitner in conversation with Carey K. Morewedge

Think about the times you moved to another place: How many of the boxes you packed were standing around and you hadn’t opened them for days, weeks, or months? And still, wouldn’t it be painful to give the boxes away?

This is just one example of how puzzling the science of ownership can be. As part of the opening of the POP Library at the WU Vienna, Bernadette Kamleitner spoke with Carey K. Morewedge about the science of ownership. They discuss, for instance, the burden of ownership, or how owning less affects us. Find out more about the science of ownership in the video below.

As part of the opening of the POP Library at the WU Vienna, Bernadette Kamleitner spoke with Russell Belk about the science of ownership. They discuss the role of ownership in society and people’s reaction to losing their most valuable possessions. Find out more about the science of ownership in the video below.

As we are approaching the weekend, we would like to share something really nice that we found on YouTube the other day. Watch the clip below and learn what ownership has to do with surfing.

It actually touches some interesting aspects about owning and the benefits we can get out of determining what is “mine” and what is “yours”.

Have a good time watching it!
