You Can Frustrate "Me" But Not "Us": the Moderate Effect of Self-Construal on Response to Luxury Brand Exclusion
This research examines how consumers with different self-construals respond to luxury brand exclusion. Results of two studies show that Independents (vs. interdependents) tend to disassociate (vs. associate) with a luxury brand that rejects them,and even transfer preference to its competitor brands; whereas both independents and interdependents continue to associate with a luxury brand which ignores them.
