ABSTRACT

Extant literature primarily considers an individual’s negative word of mouth behaviour (NWOM) as an outcome of brand hate overlooking the possibility that a reverse effect may exist. Employing an experimental research design our pilot study provides initial evidence that a reverse effect exists wherein articulation of NWOM by the communicator about a brand to their strong ties (vs. weak ties) has a stronger effect on brand hate. These initial findings not only expand our understanding of NWOM-brand hate relationship but also contributes to the nascent word of mouth (WOM) literature that seeks to understand the boomerang effects of articulating WOM on the sender.
