Prof. Jiang’s research interests lie in consumer psychology, with a particular focus on how social influence, self-concept, and visual marketing information shape consumers’ judgments and decisions.
In response to rapid changes in technology and the marketplace, one of his recent research directions explores the effects of marketing interactions, such as human-business and human-machine communication, on consumer cognition and behaviour, along with the theoretical mechanisms that drive these effects.
Building on this work, Prof. Jiang also proposes policy and management recommendations and will further explore the impact of multi-dimensional digital identities on other consumers, artificial intelligence, brand interactions, and decision-making.
