Consumer Brand Hate: Steam rolling whatever I see

Abstract: This study aims to investigate negative consumer‐brand relationships by developing a “Brand Hate” concept. A hierarchical Brand Hate model is theoretically discussed in light of the psychology and consumer behavior literatures. In Study‐I the Brand Hate concept was tested with two different types of consumer brand haters, true haters, and regular haters. The study found that in the study's proposed multidimensional Brand Hate hierarchy true haters display “Boiling Brand Hate” while regular haters reveal “Seeth… Show more

“…Since then, an increasing number of researchers have investigated various aspects of brand hate. These studies have provided an understanding of the antecedents and outcomes of brand hate (Bryson, Atwal, & Hultén, 2013;Hegner , Fetscherin, & van Delzen, 2017) alongside its multidimensionality (Zarantonello et al, 2016), how brand hate evolves over time (Zarantonello et al, 2018), how it is related to certain personality traits (Kucuk, 2019), and that there are different types of brand hate (Fetscherin, 2019). However, the literature also outlines milder emotional responses such as brand dislike (Alba & Lutz, 2013;Demirbag-Kaplan, Yildirim, Gulden, & Aktan, 2015;Romani, Grappi, & Dalli, 2012), brand avoidance, brand switching (Gelbrich, 2010;Hogg, Banister, & Stephenson, 2009;Kavaliauskė & Simanaviči utė, 2015;Lee et al, 2009b), or complaining (Halstead & Page, 1992).…”

“…"Approach" and "Attack," which could be called the AAA, or 3As, of brand hate consequences. These consequences are hierarchical in nature, the avoidance type of consequences can indicate mild brand hate, the approach type is an indicator of medium brand hate, and the attack type indicates severe brand hate (Kucuk, 2019a(Kucuk, , 2019b. Companies need to increase their consumer engagement efforts in order to influence the consequences of brand hate.…”

“…In the literature, the brand hate concept is mostly discussed from an emotional perspective, which helps us to understand the emotions behind the different types of consumer brand hatred (Bryson, Atwal, & Hultén, 2013;Fetscherin, 2019;Hegner, Fetscherin, & Van Delzen, 2017;Kucuk, 2019b;Romani, Grappi, Zarantonello, & Bagozzi, 2015;Zarantonello et al, 2016;Zarantonello, Romani, Grappi, & Fetscherin, 2018;Zhang & Laroche, 2020). Some studies classified brand hate emotions in a "mild," "modest," and "severe" emotional format (Kucuk, 2016a(Kucuk, , 2019bZhang & Laroche, 2020), some others classified these emotions as "passive" and "active" emotions (Kucuk, 2016a;Zarantonello et al, 2016). Various single brand hate emotions are tested in these studies, from "irritation, distancing, avoidance" to "disgust, sadness, loathing," and finally "anger, fear, aggression" (Fetscherin, 2019;Hegner et al, 2017;Kucuk, 2016a;Kucuk, 2019b;Zarantonello et al, 2016;Zhang & Laroche, 2020).…”

“…Disgust influences consumer perceptions and behavior across a wide‐ranging number of contexts including food (Baker, Shin, & Kim, 2016; Lowe, Fraser, & Souza‐Monteiro, 2015), firm ethics (Kucuk, 2019; Schmalz, & Orth, 2012; Xie, & Bagozzi, 2019), and marketing/advertising (Aaker, Stayman, & Vezina, 1988; Chan, 2019). For example, Motoki and Sugiura (2018, p. 76) find that disgust is a “distinct emotion of appraisal” operating apart from other emotive responses, as disgusted consumers negatively evaluate food more than sad consumers.…”
