Overview

Experiments reveal how brand transgressions alter consumer choice, suggesting moral identity plays a critical role.

Key Points

  • Brand transgressions affect consumer choice, as consumers react negatively to transgressing brands due to perceived relationship loss.
  • In experiments, higher moral identity magnified negative reactions, particularly for performance-unrelated brand transgressions.
  • Three online experiments with 611 participants explored moral identity's effects on consumer choice and behavioral intentions.
  • Understanding these dynamics highlights how brands can manage their image by considering moral identity and transgression types.
