Conducted a 2* 2* 2* 3 factorial experiment, using 136 adult male beer drinkers and 4 test beers, to examine the effects of price, composition differences, and brand image cues on the perception of beer quality. Price was found to serve as an indicant of product quality when it was the only cue available but not when embedded in a multicue setting. Brand image had a stronger effect upon quality perception, particularly for brands with strong positive images. In addition, it was found that neither price nor brand name had significant effects on perceived quality except when product composition characteristics were allowed to vary between product samples. In contrast to earlier findings, data suggest that beer drinkers possess at least some ability to distinguish among different brands of beer on the basis of composition (ie, taste and aroma) cues alone.(23 ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
