Cultural Differences in Consumer Responses to Celebrities Acting Immorally
Eastern (vs. Western) consumers show lower support for celebrities having acted immorally and for the brands they endorse, due to a stronger belief that an individual’s morality and competence are associated, leading to less moral decoupling. This effect is attenuated when the transgression is relevant to the domain of competence.
