MWITA-SPEO-2026-005 · Evidence A · P1
Symbolic and social fan-benefit activation generated stronger altruistic sponsor attributions than financial benefits, and those attributions mediated brand attitude and loyalty responses.
What this does not establish
Scenario responses do not measure redemption, actual attendance, purchase, sales, or long-term brand-equity accumulation.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Financial benefits were not universally inferior, and several direct outcome contrasts were nonsignificant; mechanism and cultural context constrain transfer.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and realized behavioral or commercial outcomes.
