We propose that consumers tend to generate positive word-of-mouth, by talking about their positive experiences with products, but transmit negative word-of-mouth, by talking about negative experiences occurred to others. We show that the basic human motive to self-enhance can parsimoniously explain both generation of positive and transmission of negative word-of-mouth.

Abstract

We propose that consumers tend to generate positive word-of-mouth, by talking about their positive experiences with products, but transmit negative word-of-mouth, by talking about negative experiences occurred to others. We show that the basic human motive to self-enhance can parsimoniously explain both generation of positive and transmission of negative word-of-mouth.
