I’M Scared, Want to Listen? Fear’S Impact on Self-Disclosure to Brands
Though the topic has increased in popularity within marketing, scant literature has considered emotional antecedents to self-disclosure. We examine fear’s impact on self-disclosure, showing that people who experience a frightening event alone are more likely to self-disclose vulnerable and personal information to brands, even though self-disclosure is inherently risky.
