Abstract
Consumers' expressed attitudes to brands are often thought to show their commitment and loyalty. But when consumers were re-interviewed, on average only about 50% gave the same attitudinal Yes or No response as before, implying that attitude beliefs are often not very firmly held. This paper reports that the attitudinal repeat-rates for different brands vary about this overall 50% average. These variations for different brands are, however, systematic. They are largely dependent upon the level of initial attitudinal responses, as a further instance of Double Jeopardy effects. The variation of repeat-rates is therefore not brand-specific and it does not reflect idiosyncratic differences in brand loyalty.
