A Literature Review on Brand Hate and Brand Avoidance as One of Its Outcomes
Abstract
This study aims to examine brand hate on a theoretical and conceptual basis in the context of brand avoidance, to evaluate selected existing research, to identify potential gaps, and to develop recommendations for future studies. Negative past experiences, symbolic incongruity, and ideological misalignment are recognized as factors that lead to brand hate, while brand avoidance, negative word-of-mouth, and brand retaliation are considered its outcomes. Given the evolving nature of literature, this study is significant in that it addresses research on brand hate within a holistic framework of brand avoidance, highlighting theoretical and methodological gaps. Accordingly, based on the literature review, several theoretical insights have been proposed on a scientific basis, along with suggestions for academic research.
