What Makes Consumer-Brand Relationships Bad? Enlightening Relational Negativity
Drawing on in-depth interviews and Fiske’s (1992) relational models theory, we explain what brings negativity in a consumer-brand relationship. This research offers scholars and brand managers an alternative framework for characterising consumer–brand relationships and understanding their negative sides.
