The Effect of Cuteness on New Product Adoption: Moderating Role of Thinking Style
This research examines how exposure to cute product design influences new product adoption. We propose that exposure to cuteness increases perception of hedonic benefit (fun) and new product adoption. While this effect is moderated by thinking style. Three experiments were conducted to test the propositions. The results support our predictions.
