Sequential mediation of guilt/control on logo size choice through the sense of power and power restoration provided by the gift (Study 2). Total effect: β = −0.10, SE = 0.07, 95% CI = [−0.2532, 0.0352]; direct effect: β = 0.64 SE = 0.22, 95% CI = [0.2112, 1.07]; indirect effect: β = −0.02, SE = 0.02, 95% CI = [−0.0620, −0.0012]. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; ns, non‐significant.
