Inferring Personality From Solo Vs. Accompanied Consumption: When Solo Consumers Are Perceived to Be More Open
We examine how people evaluate solo (vs. accompanied) consumers, and how this compares to consumers’ lay beliefs. As consumers expect, solo (vs. accompanied) consumers are perceived to be less socially connected; contrary to consumers’ expectations, solo consumers are perceived as more open and overall as favorable as accompanied consumers.
