Abstract

According to Schwartz (1992), there are universal values that people hold – self-enhancement, self-transcendance, openness to change and conservatism. Some of these values are negatively correlated to each other, whereas others may be orthogonal. We propose that when people’s identity is threatened, their preference for brands that are symbolic of the threat-relevant domain will increase, while their preference for brands that are symbolic of the threat-conflicting domain will decrease, unless the threat-conflicting value is more central to their value system than the threat-relevant value, in which case the opposite should hold. Meanwhile, preference for brands that are symbolic of threat-irrelevant (or orthogonal) domains should remain unchanged. Three studies present evidence in support of this framework.
