Abstract:Three types of negative brand publicity—product performance accident, corporate immorality, and morality-related performance failure---- are defined. Need for cognition is introduced as a moderate variable to study the different spillover effect between the two types of immorality brand publicity. Findings of natural experiment show: 1) for low NFC subjects, the spillover effect of morality-related performance failure on product category attitude and purchase intent of competing brand is stronger than corporate immorality events; but for high NFC subjects, there is no significant difference. And morality-related performance failure events have a greater effect on product category attitude and purchase intent of competing brand of low NFC subjects than on high NFC subjects; but no significant difference in the spillover effect of the corporate immorality publicity is found between low and high NFC subjects.
