Efeitos dos níveis de preço e do conhecimento da marca sobre a percepção de valor, da qualidade, da justiça, do simbolismo e da intenção de compra

Abstract

Understanding consumer behavior is essential to understanding people's needs and desires, as well as the behavior of supply and demand. In addition, it is important to know how the consumer makes the purchase decision, what external and internal factors influence this generation of image. Thus, this research aims at analyzing the effect of different price levels of a garment product, from a known and unknown brand on the purchase intention, the perception of the perceived quality, the perceived value, the perceived fairness and the symbolic aspects in a clothing product. Following the study, this was done from an experimental method with the factorial design of order 3 (high price, low price and no price information) x 2 (known brand and unknown brand), thus composing four experimental groups and two control groups. The sample consisted of 224 respondents, who were divided into six scenarios, two of them being control groups. Four of the five research hypotheses were confirmed, with the findings indicating that the price levels and brand knowledge reflect significantly in the perceived value dimension, which is significantly higher for low price levels, in perceived fairness, being significantly higher for low price levels of unknown brands and in symbolism, being significantly higher for high price levels and well-known brands, in addition, also influence consumer's intention to buy.
