The Effect of Embarrassment on Preferences For Brand Conspicuousness: the Roles of Self-Esteem and Self-Brand Connection
We demonstrate that embarrassed consumers resort to branded products to cope with the threat to self-views. Specifically, low (high) self-esteem individuals are likely to take protecting (repairing) coping strategies, and thus, prefer less (more) conspicuous designs. This interaction between self-esteem and embarrassment is moderated by self-brand connection.
