Affect Without Cognition
Focusing on the relationship between Chinese young consumers’ brand buying intention and cognitive and affective variables, this study empirically tests brand attitude formation mechanism, which is generally recognized as a concept model. Brand personality identification, as an affective variable, significantly influences Chinese young consumers’ brand buying intention. Brand personality cognitive strength and brand personality distinctiveness, as cognitive variables, have significant influences on their buying intention of a domestic brand, but not an American brand.
