How Could You Do This to Me? Brand Betrayal and Its Consumer Behavior Implications
We outline the conceptual properties and hypothesized effects of brand betrayal, defined as a negative consumer experience resulting from a deceit-based brand transgression directly related to the basis for brand attachment. Two studies consider how brand betrayal influences consumers’ emotions, brand attachment, perceived brand authenticity, forgiveness, and desire for revenge.
