Shared Values, Trust, and Consumers’ Deference to Experts
Four studies find that consumers defer to experts who share their values. Experts’ values influenced purchase intentions and information-seeking for hedonic and utilitarian products (Studies 1–2) due to inferences about experts’ judgment (Study 3) and trustworthiness (Study 4). These findings present opportunities to marketers but also risks to consumers.
