It Feels Good and Bad to Be Fake: the Mixed Emotional Experience and Consequence of Using Counterfeits
This research explores the emotions elicited by counterfeit consumption and examines how these emotions impact counterfeit users. We find that counterfeit users experience mixed emotions, particularly when they use counterfeits in public settings. Moreover, these mixed emotions are mentally taxing and thereby deplete counterfeit users’ self-regulatory resources.
