What Happens When the Company Is the Unfairly Treated Party in Online Review?
We show that consumers who perceive unfairness in an online review towards a company behave against the unfair review and reviewer and in favor of the wronged company. This effect is explained by the negative emotions caused by the episode, reader's inferences about reviewer's motivations, and empathy towards the company.
