Resumo: The current research investigates the potential relationships between brand controversy, brand power, brand personality and purchase intentions. Specifically, it examines if controversial (vs. non-controversial) brands are perceived as more risk-takers and powerful, and if in turn those perceptions affect brands with different personalities such that feminine (vs. masculine) controversial brands are purchased less. Through an experimental study, where controversy was manipulated, results showed that controversial brands are perceived as more risk-takers. For the other hypotheses, no evidence of support was found.
