Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of brand cynicism on negative WOM and analyse the mediating role of brand hate in this relationship. The study focuses on brand cynicism, which refers to a defensive attitude towards brands' efforts to convince consumers, who have lost their trust in the brand and think that they have been deceived or sacrificed for the brand's interests. An online survey is conducted to collect data. Results of the study show that brand cynicism has a significant effect on brand hate, and brand hate has a significant effect on the negative WOM variable. Our results also demonstrate that brand hate has a full mediating role in the relationship between brand cynicism and negative WOM, which means, brand cynicism affects negative WOM indirectly through brand hate. The paper can be regarded as a significant contribution to brand cynicism literature which is fairly new and an unexplored area.

当品牌愤世嫉俗变成品牌仇恨:品牌仇恨对品牌愤世嫉俗与负面 WOM 关系的中介作用
本研究旨在调查品牌犬儒主义对负面 WOM 的影响,并分析品牌仇恨在这一关系中的中介作用。研究的重点是品牌犬儒主义,它指的是对品牌说服消费者的努力所持的一种防御态度,消费者已经失去了对品牌的信任,认为自己被欺骗了或为了品牌的利益而牺牲了。为收集数据,我们开展了一项在线调查。研究结果表明,品牌犬儒主义对品牌仇恨有显著影响,而品牌仇恨对负面 WOM 变量有显著影响。我们的研究结果还表明,品牌仇恨在品牌犬儒主义与负面 WOM 的关系中具有完全的中介作用,即品牌犬儒主义通过品牌仇恨间接影响负面 WOM。本文可以被视为对品牌犬儒主义文献的一个重要贡献,因为品牌犬儒主义是一个相当新的领域,也是一个未被探索的领域。
