Crossmodal Synesthesia: Sensory Discomfort Affects Product Preferences Across Modalities
We develop a crossmodal framework to explain when and how consumers faced with uncomfortable sensory exposure in one modality (e.g., audition) may alter their product preferences across other modalities (e.g., vision, olfaction, haptics, gustation). This research has important implications for marketers targeting consumers within contextual and dynamic environments.
