Self-Reference As a Trigger of the Inner Prosecutor: the Moderating Role of the Self-Reference Effect on the Relationship Between Consumers and Transgressor Brands
This study analyzes the interplay between self-reference effect and corporate brand transgressions on consumer punishing behavior. By a 2x2 experimental design, it is found that the interaction effect between self-reference and no self-reference groups and transgression levels causes a dramatic increase in punishing behavior under mild transgression rather than severe transgression.
