Transference and congruence effects on purchase intentions in online stores of multi-channel retailers: initial evidence from the U.S. and South Korea

Abstract: Drawing from research on retailing, online shopping behavior, and theories of cognitive psychology, we develop and test a framework that investigates purchase intentions in online stores of multi-channel retailers. The framework simultaneously examines the influence of transference of attitude and trust from the multi-channel retailer's physical to online stores, image congruence between the multi-channel retailer's physical and online stores, and image congruence between the multi-channel retailer's online st… Show more

“…Furthermore, research on categorization theory suggests that prototypes allow individuals to group objects into categories, making it easier for them to judge a new stimulus [17] . According to the categorization approach of information processing, if a new stimulus can be categorized as an example of a previously defined category, then the associations related to the category can be quickly retrieved and applied to the stimulus [3] . Applying this theory to the current context, the better the congruence of product selections and prices between a traditional retailer's online store and a prototypical online store is, the easier the traditional retailer's online store to categorize as an example of online store category represented by the prototypical online store is, and the more complete the attribute associations transference from the prototypical online store is.…”
