英文摘要：

Based on the interview samples, this article combines the and survey on dyadic-level qualitative and quantitative methods to explore and confirm the forming process and compo- nent factors of Reverse Intergenerational Brand Equity （RIGBE） under the background of Chinese culture. In the stage of qualitative research, the phenomenological interviews are used on the sample of 10 dyadic mothers and daughters and the conceptualized model of the reverse intergenerational dynamic mechanism is built by the analysis.

The findings also show the key implica- tions in
