Consumer Emotional Intelligence: a Comparison Between the U.S. and China
Consumption decisions often satisfy consumers’ various psychological needs and serve a social purpose by reflecting ties to one’s family, community, and cultural groups. These distinct orientations may provide important insights into how consumers process emotional information and how they use that information to make brand decisions. In this research, we explore the antecedent role of consumer emotional intelligence on decision making differences between collectivist and individualistic orientations; specifically Chinese and American consumers. Further, we compare the consumer emotional intelligence scale across these two distinct cultures to better understand its validity and dimensionality.
