Brand community network relationships have what effect on consumer psychology, these psychological reactions play what role on the influence of brand community on brand loyalty.Based on the above thinking, this article will focus on the customer psychological reaction mechanism that influence of brand community network relationship on community performance. In this regard, in order to investigate the influence of the community psychological mechanisms. First, we sort out literature about the influence of the brand community.

Finally, we construct a research model in this paper based on the previous analysis: network relationship-psychological reaction-community performance, describes the role of customer psychological reaction (psychological ownership, psychological contract and positive emotions) on the influence of brand community network relationship on community performance. Concrete conclusions are as follows:First, interactive relationship between brand community members (information and interpersonal interaction) have an impact on loyalty behavior and the psychological contract play the mediating role.

Psychological contract between members of the community have an impact on the community loyalty, community loyalty has a positive effect on brand loyalty. Psychological contract plays an mediating role on the influence of interactive relationship on community Loyalty.Second, the Interactive Relationship between members of the community will have an impact on the post-purchase satisfaction through positive emotion. positive emotion play partly mediating role in the influence of information interaction on the post-purchase satisfaction and play completely mediating role in the influence of interpersonal interaction on the post-purchase satisfaction. Information valence will moderate the influence of the interaction between members of the community on post-purchase satisfaction, interpersonal interaction and information interaction will positive influence on positive emotion when information valence is positive or negative, however, when the information valence is positive, interpersonal interaction and information interaction have more influence on the positive emotion than information valence is negative.Third, community citizenship behavior can be classified as citizen behavior beneficial to brand community organizations and citizen behavior beneficial to brand community members, network relationship of community members can be classified as structure relationship and interaction relationship. Psychological ownership of community members have a positive impact on the citizen behavior beneficial to brand community organizations and citizen behavior beneficial to brand community members. psychological ownership will mediate the influence of structure relationship on the citizenship behavior of online brand community.
