Note(s)

: **Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (two-tailed). *. Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (two-tailed). CBI = consumer brand identification; BSC= brand-self congruity; SEV = self-expressive value; BD = brand distinctiveness; IGI = in-group social identity; BL = Brand loyalty; PWM = positive word of mouth
