How Does Incongruity Perception Influence Product Evaluation? Examination of the Inverted U Shape Relation Predicted By Schema Congruity Theory
The frequently-used schema congruity theory argues product-incongruity to effect product-evaluations in an inverted u-shape. To test this, we measured a continuous incongruity in within-subjects approach. Five pre-registered studies did not support the theory on group or on individual level, instead showed evaluations to be unaffected by incongruity.
