1Consistent with our intentions, subjects did not
appeart o be aware of the company's diversity-relatedC SR
activities (1.56).8 Moreover, they were relatively surprised
(5.03) by the CSR information, because they did not expect
this company to engage in such activities (2.73). Notably,
these ratings did not differ significantly in the two CSR
Record conditions, which disqualified these familiaritybased
variables as confounds in our CSR Record manipulation.
Perhaps more important, subjects found the CSR
Record information to be somewhat credible (5). However,
given the company's reputation, it is not surprising that they
found the positive CSR Record scenario to be significantly
more credible (average of believability and credibility rating
= 5.32) than the negative one (4.64; F(1,170) = 11, p <
.05). Our concern about the potentially confounding effect
of credibility on our CSR Record manipulation prompted us
to include it as a covariate in our analyses of the company
and product-relatedr esponses of subjects in the positive and
negative CSR Record conditions. Notably, the perceived
credibility of the CSR information was not a significant
covariate in the analyses of C-C congruence, company evaluation,
or product purchase intention
