Industrial Management The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of avoidance of similarity, self-congruity, and brand attachment on Generation X’s sportswear brand loyalty. This study also examines whether self-congruity plays a role in the relationship between avoidance of similarity and brand attachment. A total of 368 valid data were used in this study and collected from Generation X participants. The hypotheses were tested using Structural Equation Modeling with the AMOS 22.0. The findings show that avoidance of similarity influences self-congruity, self-congruity influences brand attachment, avoidance of similarity influences brand attachment, and brand attachment directly influences brand loyalty.

This study adds to the growing body of knowledge about avoidance of similarity and self-congruity as important drivers of brand attachment and brand loyalty.
