Sizes Are Gendered: Impact of Size Cues in Brand Names on Brand Stereotyping
In this research, we show that brand names with size cues of smallness (vs. bigness) evoke thoughts of female (vs. male) gender stereotype, which, in turn, lead consumers to perceive the target brand to be higher (vs. lower) on warmth-related traits but lower (vs. higher) on competence-related traits.
