Bu araştırmada marka özdeşleşmesinin marka evangelizmi üzerindeki etkisinde marka aşkının aracılık rolü araştırılmıştır. Bolu ilinde ikamet eden en az 18 yaşında ve bir otomobile sahip kişiler araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. 420 kişiden toplanan veriden 29 hatalı ve eksik anket araştırma kapsamı dışında bırakılmıştır. 391 kişiden elde edilen veriler SPSS AMOS paket programı aracılığıyla yapısal eşitlik modeli ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, marka özdeşleşmesinin marka evangelizmi üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığı ancak marka aşkının tam aracılık rolü ile marka özdeşleşmesi ve marka evangelizmi arasındaki ilişkinin sağlandığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
