Counterfeit Consumption: the Role of Consumers’ Perceived Likelihood of Counterfeit-Detection By Important Others
Counterfeiting is becoming widespread, developing into a problem of international significance. Attempting to develop a refined understanding of the motivations and decision-making processes of consumers’ deliberate counterfeit-consumption behavior, this research integrates the theory of planned behavior and insights from self-regulatory theories. It also extends these theories by re-conceptualizing the relationships of key constructs in the theory of planned behavior with action desire as well as this research’s newly introduced construct of consumers’ perceived likelihood of counterfeit-detection by important others. Results of this research are expected to support the refined model, thereby enabling the development of effective strategies to decrease consumer consumption of counterfeits.
