%X This study analyzes how consumersĄŻ evaluations of various dimensions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) affect their support of it and how consumersĄŻ searches for CSR information influence such evaluations. The empirical analysis relies on data on CSR from a wide representative sample of 3543 Spanish hotel consumers. We use hierarchical multiple regressions to test the relationships and use factorial analysis to test the validity of the different CSR dimensions. The proposed positive effects of legal, ethical, economic, philanthropic, and environmental dimensions of CSR on consumersĄŻ support for corporate reputation, the selection of an establishment, and future purchase intention are corroborated, although they are only partially corroborated in the case of the economic dimension. These relationships are moderated in some cases by consumersĄŻ search for information about hotelsĄŻ CSR practices. Managerial and economic implications are derived from the results
