There are two types of consensus information which express the viewpoint of the majority (Mackie, 1987, p. 42; Freling and Dacin, 2010, p. 163): An individual can be informed that the majority of people are in favor of a product, support a topic, or are proponents of an idea. Alternatively, the individual can get the information that the majority of people dislike a product, reject a topic, or are opponents of an idea. The first case of consensus can be denoted as majority agreement and the latter case as majority disagreement.
