Abstract

In this research, we investigate the relationship between consumer traits and the “art infusion effect”—the phenomenon wherein the presence of visual art within a consumer product might lead to more favorable product evaluations. Across two studies, we show that consumer evaluations might benefit from the presence of visual art within a consumer product and demonstrate that consumer level of competitiveness plays an important role in moderating the art infusion effect.
