The influence of social identity on value perceptions and intention

Abstract

Despite much research on consumers' brand identification, researchers remain divided regarding the conceptualization of the dimensions underlying social identity and how these dimensions impact marketing outcome variables. Further, previous studies have failed to examine the underlying psychological process driving this effect. The current research is the first to assess the importance of affective social identity as the mediator through which cognitive social identity impacts consumers' purchase intentions by ways of emotional and social value. Results show that affective social identity mediates the relationship between cognitive social identity and emotional value, where affect is the main driver in the formation of purchase intention. This study highlights the need to model cognitive and affective social identity separately and provides insight into how consumers' social identification influences their perceptions of identity‐linked products.

Slogans, brands and purchase behaviour of students

“…Strong branding is closely related to brand awareness, loyalty, identity and word-ofmouth marketing, all highly influencing brand equity (Anselmsson, Bondesson, and Melin, 2016;McGowan, Shiu, and Hassan, 2017;Ryan and Casidy, 2018). The image of a brand is the key driver of brand equity, which refers to consumers' perception and feelings about a brand and influences consumer behaviour (Kristensen, Gabrielsen, and Zaichkowsky, 2012;Laforet, 2011;Zhang, 2015).…”
