本研究欲探索：當品牌推出延伸產品時，消費者對母品牌的認知、偏好及與延伸產品與母品牌契合程度上，對消費者所產生的行為意向。研究目的為：(1)消費者對母品牌的認知、偏好是否會影響消費者對延伸產品購買之行為意向；(2)消費者對延伸產品與品牌的知覺契合度認知，是否會影響消費者對延伸產品的購買；(3)分析「品牌認知與品牌偏好」和「產品知覺契合度」的關係，進而探討此兩點因素是如何影響消費者的行為意向。經過四次前測，以確認研究量表之架設。本研究使用大學生樣本，共取得有效問卷403份。結果顯示：消費頻率越高對於延伸產品的接受度越高；此外，消費者認知、偏好及延伸產品知覺契合度，均會對行為意向產生影響。研究建議，企業主可透過產品特徵或相關聯想，強化消費者對於延伸產品與品牌間之契合；此外，持續經營母品牌形象，強化使用者對品牌的喜愛，亦有助於延伸產品之銷售。
