Interplay of consumer animosity and product country image in consumers’ purchase decisions

Journal of International Business Studies

2022-07-01

The literature has long acknowledged the impact of stereotypical associations with a product’s country of origin (COO) on consumers’ cognitive assessments of the product. However, consumers’ emotional reactions to a product’s COO can also influence their decisions. For example, the literature reports a monotonically negative relationship between consumer animosity (CA) and the purchase of products from an animosity-evoking country. The literature provides an incomplete picture though because it does not consider other factors that may transform this negative relationship. Drawing on theories of the interplay between affect and cognition in decision-making, this research investigates the nuanced interaction between CA and product country image (PCI).

Disclosure Antecedents in an Online Service Context: The Role of Sensitivity of Information

Journal of Service

2012-02-17

The authors propose and find that the mixed results of prior research regarding disclosure antecedents are due in part to a failure to account for information sensitivity. Using prospect theory to examine willingness to disclose in an online service context, the authors propose and find that greater sensitivity of information requested produces weaker effects of customization benefits but stronger effects of information control and online privacy concern.
