题目:How Do Social Movements Affect Identity-Based Consumption? #MeToo and the Demand for Gendered Product

摘要:

This research examines whether and how #Metoo - a major social movement centered around women's identity - affected the demand for gendered attributes in footwear (e.g., shoe type and shoe color). As a social movement, #Metoo made more salient both desired and stigmatized aspects of women's identity, through advocating for greater gender equality and denouncing sexual harassment of women in the workplace. Building on the idea that consumers engage in identity-based consumption either through association with desired identity facets or through dissociation from stigmatized identity facets, we predict and find that #Metoo increased the demand for gendered attributes (heel height, feminine colors such as pink or red) when the movement generated more interest in desired (vs. stigmatized) facets of women identity. In contrast, #Metoo decreased the demand for such attributes when the movement generated more interest in stigmatized (vs. desired) facets of women identity. To test these predictions, we analyze how local variations of online search data indicative of consumers' interest for desired (i.e. gender equality topic) and stigmatized (i.e., sexual harassment topic) facets of women's identity affects online shoe sales using daily product-level stock-out data from a leading global fast fashion retailer reflecting consumer demand (32 OECD countries; +/- 6 weeks around #MeToo; January 2017 - December 2018). Implications for how brands can predict demand alterations from social movements, when social movements affect consumer identity through association vs. dissociation as well as the well as the cultural spillover of social movements are discussed.
