Determinants of Product Value-Expressiveness
A study was conducted testing the hypothesis that product value-expressiveness is a function of product conspicuousness, differentiation, and common usage. A 3-way repeated measures ANOVA design was used representing the effects of the three factors on value expressiveness. Eight products representing the eight cells in the repeated measures design were selected. Manipulation checks showed that the products did indeed represent conspicuousness, differentiation, and common usage. As expected, the ANOVA results showed three significant main effects and no interaction effects. That is, conspicuousness, differentiation, and common usage were found to significantly contribute to the predicted variance in value expressiveness. This finding was argued to be instrumental in developing future reliable and valid product value-expressiveness measures to be employed in consumer self-concept research.
