“…Intermediate variables are more related to consumer perception, such as perceived deliciousness and health of food [26], brand status [61], sense of authenticity [28], perceived conspicuousness [64], perceived sustainability, perceived credibility [66], competition and warmth [67], brand gender [63], [69,70,77], interestingness and clarity [83], etc., which also involve consumers' processing fluency of visual recognition [13,65], etc. The dependent variable is mainly about consumers' attitudes towards the brand [41,62,63,65,68,77,85], favourable [61], brand loyalty [32], attractiveness [84], likability [66], and other emotional reactions [80], as well as consumer preferences [19,67] or purchase intention [42], and behaviour [75].…”
