Placing Identity Into the Self-Concept: the Role of Causal Beliefs in Identity-Based Consumption
This work aims to understand identity-based consumption by exploring consumers’ beliefs about how their various identities fit into their broader self-concepts. We demonstrate that among consumers who share an identity, those who believe it is causally related to more aspects of the self-concept are more likely to display identity-consistent behaviors.
