Abstract:

To investigate the impact of dissociative group on brand avoidance,the empirical research method was used, and a theoretical model was constructed to test the hypotheses. A questionnaire was administered to collect data, and such analytic tools as SPSS and AMOS were used for data analysis. The results showed that dissociative group has a significant positive effect on brand avoidance and undesired self-congruence, while it has a significant negative effect on self-brand connection; undesired self-congruence is a full-mediator between dissociative group and self-brand connection; self-brand connection is a semi-mediator of undesired self-congruence and brand avoidance; brand involvement negatively moderates the relationship between dissociative group and brand avoidance as well as the relationship between dissociative group and undesired self-congruence.

Key words: dissociative group, undesired self-congruence, self-brand connection, brand avoidance, brand involvement
