Why We Love Brands: the Roles of Brand Personality and Brand Trust

Across two studies, we investigate how brand personality plays a meaningful role in establishing consumer trust on a brand, which in turn increases consumer brand loyalty. Moreover, we demonstrate that this effect is moderated by consumer motivation (i.e., self-verification or self-enhancement) and whether the product is publicly or privately consumed.
