    Abstract

    Prior research showed that social exclusion increases preference for anthropomorphized products. Yet, the exact motivation is unclear because social exclusion can heighten both affiliation need and control need. Using a new manipulation, we add to the literature by showing need for affiliation alone can drive preference for anthropomorphized products.
