报告摘要：In this research, we show that anthropomorphic features of a base product (e.g., making a Canon printer move its “lips” when “talking” in a video advertisement) can increase consumers’ relative preference for replacement parts from the same brand that provides the base product (e.g., Canon ink cartridges) over replacement parts from a different brand (e.g., Staples ink cartridges). We propose that this is because consumers are biologically averse to foreign body-related substances, and they also project such an aversion onto replacement parts from a different brand, which represent “foreign body substances” to an anthropomorphized base product. In line with this bodily consideration account, we further demonstrate that the effect of product anthropomorphism on brand choice (1) is driven by a decrease in the perceived compatibility between a base product and its replacement parts from a different brand, (2) does not extend to consumers’ choice of related products that can work independently of a base product, and (3) becomes stronger for consumers who are more averse to foreign body-related substances.
