The Heat Up / Cool Down-Model of Boycotting
Many consumer boycott companies deemed socially irresponsible but stop boycotting after a while. This paper analyzes this phenomenon, suggesting a “heat-up”- and a “cool-down”-phase. Study 1 analyzes antecedents in the heat-up-phase. Study 2 investigates reactions in media. Study 3 explores forces underlying changes in boycott motivation, focusing on subjective costs.
