Abstract:
Geographical information plays an important role in understanding consumers' decisions and behavior. However, few research has investigated the effect of location contiguity on consumers' purchase intention. By applying event-related potentials (ERPs) method, the current study investigated the neural mechanism of location contiguity on consumers' purchase intentions. Behaviorally, compared with the location incongruence condition, participants in the location congruence condition demonstrated a higher purchase rate and a shorter reaction time (RT). Moreover, the location congruence condition elicited a decreased N400 and an increased LPP compared to the location incongruence condition. This study illustrated a positive relationship between location contiguity and consumers' purchase intention. The results of our study will be useful for both researchers and practitioners.
