摘要:

研究表明,当品牌形象与内群体一致时或品牌形象与外群体不一致时,个体的自我-品牌联结较强。遗憾地是,以往的研究忽视了对参考群体特征的考察。基于群体的视角,通过两个实验,探索了群体地位和群体独特性的影响。研究结果表明,第一,对于内群体而言,群体地位和群体独特性,会加强群体关联性品牌和自我-品牌联结之间的正向关系。第二,对于外群体而言,群体地位和群体独特性的影响和作用方向恰恰相反。即群体地位会削弱品牌的群体关联性和自我-品牌联结之间的负向关系,但是群体独特性则会强化品牌的群体关联性和自我品牌联结之间的负向关系。

Abstract:

Prior research demonstrates that brand image matching with in-group or not matching with out-group, individual’s self-brand connection will be stronger. But it ignores the group characteristics. Basing on the group perspective, this paper discusses the impact of group status and group distinctiveness. Firstly, for in-group, group status and group distinctiveness will enhance the positive relationship between group association brand and self-brand connection. Secondly, for out-group, group status and group distinctiveness have opposite impact. Group status will reduce the negative relationship between group association brand and self-brand connection. But Group distinctiveness will strengthen the negative relationship between group association brands and self-brand connection.

Key words: self-brand connection, group association brand, symbolic consumption, group status, group distinctiveness
