From an Elaboration Likelihood Model perspective, it was hypothesized that postexposure awareness of deceptive packaging claims would have a greater negative effect on scores for purchase intention by consumers lowly involved rather than highly involved with a product ( n = 40). Undergraduates who were classified as either highly or lowly ( ns = 20 and 20) involved with M&Ms examined either a deceptive or nondeceptive package design for M&Ms candy and were subsequently informed of the deception employed in the packaging before finally rating their intention to purchase. As anticipated, highly deceived subjects who were low in involvement rated intention to purchase lower than their highly involved peers. Overall, the results attest to the robustness of the model and suggest that the model has implications beyond advertising effects and into packaging effects.

Abstract Effective public communications have been proposed as a remedy for citizens’ distrust in government. Recent studies pointed to the emotional effect of symbolic elements, entangled in government public communications (e.g., logos, images, and celebrities). Still, they did not examine the interaction between these symbols and the substantive information in communications about bureaucracies’ performance and policies. Exploring this interaction is important for understanding the theoretical mechanisms underlying the effect of symbolic communication on citizens’ trust. Also, it is essential to assess symbols’ potency to unduly compensate for unfavorable or logically unpersuasive information, and enable public organizations to escape justified public criticism. Building on the social psychology Elaboration Likelihood Model, I theorize that symbols may increase citizens’ trust by conducing citizens to pay less attention to logically unpersuasive information, and thus offsetting its negative effect. I test this indirect mechanism via a large survey experiment, focusing on the Israeli Environment Protection Ministry. The experimental results support the research hypotheses and suggest that the effect of symbolic elements is stronger when communications include logically unpersuasive information. I discuss the implications of these findings for democratic responsiveness and accountability.

This study aims at explaining the influence process of YouTube’s consumer-generated content on consumers’ cognition, attitude and purchase intention. The proposed model is based on Elaboration Likelihood Model with extensive variables including perceived usefulness, attitude, information adoption and purchase intention. To test the validity of proposed model and research hypotheses, Structural Equation Model is applied on a sample of 208 individuals who are interested in smartphone. The results show that the measurements are reliable and valid and research model can be used for explaining the effect of consumer-generated content on consumers. Besides, all hypotheses are empirically supported. This study, therefore, has contributions on both academic and practical aspects.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />Electronic Word Of Mouth (EWOM) is a new form of WOM since the distribution of product information or service via internet. This study focuses on online reviews about an eatery named Zomato. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of EWOM, in this case is online reviews on Zomato to the purchase intention in JABODETABEK area. Literature review of Elaboration Likelihood Model will be used in this study. In this study, both routes of Elaboration Likelihood Model are used to analyze Electronic Word Of Mouth dimension that is divided into central route and peripheral route. The independent variables on central route are information timeliness (X1), information relevance (X2), information accuracy (X3), and value added information (X4). The variables in peripheral route are information quantity (X5) and product ranking (X6). Dependent variable is the purchase intention (Y). The research method is explanative quantitative by using data collection technique via online questionnaire and use linear regression data collection technique. The most dominant and affecting variables in Electronic Word Of Mouth dimension to the purchase intention in jabodetabek area are product ranking (X6), information relevance (X2), value added information (X4), information quantity (X5), and information accuracy (X3), while information timeliness (X1) has no significant effect.

Based on the elaboration likelihood model (ELM), this study examined the role of consumers’ initial trust in the persuasion process in e-commerce advertising in China. The results of two experiments revealed two significant moderators of the central route for processing of information: the disposition to trust (negative moderator) and institution-based trust (IBT; positive moderator). Specifically, low disposition to trust strengthened the influence of argument quality on consumers’ product attitude and purchase intention. The same effect occurred under conditions of high IBT. However, when it came to the peripheral route, the effects of disposition to trust and IBT were not significant.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to use social identity theory and the elaboration likelihood model to explore differences in consumer response to positive and negative online brand advertising based on the degree to which the consumer identifies with the brand featured in the ad. Dependent variables include attitude toward the ad, attitude toward the brand, willingness to share the ad and purchase intention. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a posttest-only, 2 (low consumer–brand identification v. high consumer–brand identification) × 2 (negative advertisement v. positive advertisement) between-subjects factorial design for two separate brands based on the pretest results. Findings Results show, in support of extant research, that consumer–brand identification enhances consumer perceptions of positive brand advertising. In addition, this research shows that consumer–brand identification also minimizes the potentially detrimental effects of negative advertisements on the dependent variables. Further, results suggest that those with a low consumer–brand identification are more likely to share negative online brand advertising. Practical implications Building consumer–brand identification among target consumers results in positive brand attitudes and behaviors while at the same time shielding brands from negative online attack advertising. However, consumers with weak consumer–brand identification can be influenced through peripheral cues in online ads. This research indicates that managers need to focus on strengthening consumer–brand identity with target audiences and closely monitor negative online sentiment. Originality/value This exploratory research extends current consumer–brand relationship scholarship and adds support for application of the elaboration likelihood model in an online environment. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to examine the role of consumer–brand identity and its role in explaining consumer responses to online display advertising.
