Are There Cognitive Dissonance Segments?

Are There Cognitive Dissonance Segments? Cognitive Dissonance has interested consumer researchers for many years. Until recently, however, there has not been an accepted consumer dissonance scale. Using a recently developed scale, the present study examined the presence of dissonance segments in two customer samples, in which a significant minority of respondents experienced dissonance. Similar segments were found in both clusters, suggesting they may be common across a number of purchase contexts. Further investigation found some background differences, although a number of suggested relationships (e.g. price would affect dissonance) were not supported. Given the potential negative effects of dissonance, managers need to give this construct their attention. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australian Journal of Management SAGE

Abstract

Cognitive Dissonance has interested consumer researchers for many years. Until recently, however, there has not been an accepted consumer dissonance scale. Using a recently developed scale, the present study examined the presence of dissonance segments in two customer samples, in which a significant minority of respondents experienced dissonance. Similar segments were found in both clusters, suggesting they may be common across a number of purchase contexts. Further investigation found some background differences, although a number of suggested relationships (e.g. price would affect dissonance) were not supported. Given the potential negative effects of dissonance, managers need to give this construct their attention.
