Self-Awareness Fit and Consumer Product Evaluation
Consumers increasingly engage in activities that can situationally increase self-awareness (e.g., taking selfies). Across two experiments, we find that situationally increasing self-awareness via self-focusing stimuli (i.e., video and mirror) enhances (vs. hinders) experiences with products among consumers with high (vs. low) public self-consciousness.
