Identities Without Products: Can Choice About Self-Linked Possessions Be Attachment-Free?
Previous research assumes that the strength of consumers’ attachment to a possession always affects their decisions about it. Here we show that consumers primed with a product-independent (vs. product-dependent) identity overlook the strength of their possession-self links; they therefore replace the use of their possessions with the use of rentals.
