“It Is Still Someone Else’S!” the Effect of Implicit Theories on the Consumption of Pre-Owned Goods

In five studies, we show that entity (vs. incremental) theorists exhibit more negative attitude and lower purchase intention toward pre-owned products as they feel a lower degree of perceived ownership for such products.
