Abstract
Abstract Consumers' product‐disposal behaviors impact the environment, businesses, society, and consumer well‐being. This research explores if and how consumers' disposal behaviors are influenced by sentiments of nostalgia. Four experimental studies are conducted, two on student samples and two on general population, to test our hypotheses. Study 1 shows that compared with collective nostalgia, personal nostalgia elicits higher intention to keep and reuse products. In contrast, collective nostalgia elicits higher intention to donate and recycle products. Both personal nostalgia and collective nostalgia reduce intention to throw away. Study 2 further corroborates the negative impact of personal nostalgia and collective nostalgia on throw away intention. Study 3 finds that the positive effect of personal nostalgia on keep and reuse intention is mediated by self‐continuity. Finally, study 4 demonstrates that collective efficacy mediates the positive effect of collective nostalgia on donate and recycle intention. This study has theoretical contributions and practical implications for scholars and policy makers.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
