Does a ‘Made in China’ Label Make People Show Less Care For Products?

Country-of-origin labels have been found to affect product evaluations and purchase intentions, but do they also impact how consumers use products? We show that negatively perceived country-of-origin labels such as ‘Made in China’ reduce how much care consumers (intend to) show for products, because consumers value Chinese-made products less.
