We prove that if a finite group H has a generalized involution model, as defined by Bump and Ginzburg, then the wreath product H ≀ S[subscript n] also has a generalized involution model. This extends the work of Baddeley concerning involution models for wreath products. As an application, we construct a Gel’fand model for wreath products of the form A ≀ S[subscript n] with A abelian, and give an alternate proof of a recent result due to Adin, Postnikov and Roichman describing a particularly elegant Gel’fand model for the wreath product ℤ[subscript r] ≀ S[subscript n]. We conclude by discussing some notable properties of this representation and its decomposition into irreducible constituents, proving a conjecture of Adin, Postnikov and Roichman.
