Experimental nostalgia inductions: A primer
Experimental nostalgia inductions: A primer
We present an introduction to common experimental nostalgia inductions, their similarities, differences, and potential applications. To organize this booming literature, we develop a 2 x 2 taxonomy that classifies inductions based on two characteristics: whether they rely on vivid recall or sensory stimulation, and whether they use an idiographic (i.e., tailored to individuals) or nomothetic (i.e., tailored to classes or cohorts of individuals) approach. Our review highlights the rich variety of nostalgia inductions and emphasizes the need for programmatic, methodologically diverse research to balance practical considerations in experimental design as well as develop greater theoretical understanding of how this complex emotion affects people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Abstract
We present an introduction to common experimental nostalgia inductions, their similarities, differences, and potential applications. To organize this booming literature, we develop a 2 x 2 taxonomy that classifies inductions based on two characteristics: whether they rely on vivid recall or sensory stimulation, and whether they use an idiographic (i.e., tailored to individuals) or nomothetic (i.e., tailored to classes or cohorts of individuals) approach. Our review highlights the rich variety of nostalgia inductions and emphasizes the need for programmatic, methodologically diverse research to balance practical considerations in experimental design as well as develop greater theoretical understanding of how this complex emotion affects people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
