MWITA-ICO-2026-008 · Evidence A · P1
Functional brand-influencer fit produced substantially stronger brand attitude than image fit in a controlled Chinese experiment.
What this does not establish
Fictionalized scenarios and attitudes, not purchases; the anomalous reported effect-size statistic requires author or corrigendum clarification.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Both fit forms can appear plausible, but they are not outcome-equivalent and one reported statistic is internally suspect.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised versions, denominators, confidence intervals, platform or model changes, and deployed human or commercial outcomes.
