    Abstract

    The purpose is to ascertain whether aesthetic appreciation by personal users of fairly standardized technology products such as smartphones is associated directly with purchase intention or through different forms of value perceived by potential purchasers. A framework is proposed and tested drawing on a sample of smart phone users. Alternative paths between aesthetic appreciation of the object and purchase intention are examined, concluding that aesthetics has a strong indirect link with purchase intention, primarily through perceived social value.
