When Social Media Word-Of-Mouth Catches Envious Eyes: How Feelings of Being Envied Influence Self-Brand Connection
We examined the ambivalent impacts of being envied experiences, triggered by sharing luxury consumption on social media. Results from three experiments show that feeling being maliciously (benignly) envied decreases (increases) self-brand connection, mediated by anxiety (pride). The effects are more salient when consumers interact with peers with lower social-distance.
