This study investigates the cognitive processes underlying the increased preference-behavior correspondence following intention formation. In line with ‘intention superiority’ principles, three studies show that a brand that consumers tied to their intention remains in a heightened state of activation until these consumers make a choice, after which brand inhibition sets in. A fourth study suggests that keeping intention-related information in a heightened state of activation leads consumers to shield their intentions from interference by avoiding information processing and ignoring competing information. Intention superiority principles are drivers of increased preference-behavior correspondence independent of decision involvement (Studies 1 and 2), product involvement (Study 2) and cognitive dissonance (Study 3). Implications for marketers conclude the paper.
