Abstract
We examine the effects of financial resources on product shape preference. Two field studies and one laboratory experiment show that consumers who have (or believe they have) more financial resources exhibit more favorable attitudes toward angular product shapes than their poorer peers. Financial resources, however, do not influence consumers’ preference for circular products. The implications of these findings for transformative consumer research are discussed.
