As numerous videos are now deliberately designed to evoke ASMR, brands have also shown interest to include ASMR cues in their advertisements. This paper presents three studies scrutinizing ASMR experiences, both in a non-advertising and advertising context. First, a web-scraping study suggests that ASMR is typically associated with feelings of relaxation. Furthermore, two experiments show the positive influence of embedding ASMR cues in advertisements on consumers’ purchase intentions. A serial mediation analysis demonstrates that this positive effect can be explained by increased feelings of relaxation, which enable a better flow-like experience. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.Keywords: ASMRadvertisingrelaxationflow statepurchase intentions AcknowledgmentsThe authors greatly acknowledge the help of Nicolas Dewulf in creating the stimuli and collecting the data of Study 2.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsLaura De KerpelLaura De Kerpel (PhD, Ghent University) is a doctoral assistant in Business Economics at the Department of Marketing, Innovation, and Organisation at Ghent University, Tweekerkenstraat 2, 9000 Ghent, Belgium.Anneleen Van KerckhoveAnneleen Van Kerckhove (PhD, Ghent University) is an associate professor of marketing at the Department of Marketing, Innovation, and Organisation, at Ghent University, Tweekerkenstraat 2, 9000 Ghent, Belgium.Tina TessitoreTina Tessitore (PhD, Ghent University) is an associate professor of marketing at IÉSEG School of Management, 3 Rue de la Digue, 59000 Lille, France (LEM-CNRS UMR 9221).","PeriodicalId":48111,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advertising","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135829929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Young consumers tend to be early adopters of blockchain technologies and are seeking branded NFTs for their own purposes. Using a U.S. sample of Gen-Z and Millennials (n = 1,053), we examined the values (i.e. informative, entertainment, unique, expressive values) consumers are seeking in the acquisition and display of branded NFTs and explored how their tendencies toward status consumption, perceived financial constraint, and dispositional innovativeness influenced their willingness to engage in brand WOM. The analyses confirmed the proposed model and revealed that value perceptions (unique, entertainment, and expressive values) helped elicit an individual’s sense of status consumption and dispositional innovativeness. This relationship resulted in positive brand WOM. For the financially constrained, the unique value offered by NFTs was important for positive WOM to manifest. This research helps both marketers and policymakers better understand consumers’ psychological responses to branded NFTs.Keywords: Non-fungible token marketingstatus consumptiondispositional innovativenessfinancial constraintsvalue perceptionbrand WOM Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementDue to the ethical nature of the research, supporting data is not available.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Southern Methodist University under the Meadows Faculty Development Grant.Notes on contributorsQuan XieQuan Xie (Ph.D., Ohio University) is an Assistant Professor of Advertising at the Temerlin Advertising Institute in Southern Methodist University.

Negatively framed literal ads and hyperbole ads with two levels of exaggeration were compared. The results showed that high-intensity negative hyperboles were more incongruous, more humorous, and less truthful than their literal counterparts, while the effects of low-intensity negative hyperboles and literal ads did not differ. High-intensity hyperboles (vs. literal ads) exerted a positive influence on ad attitude through incongruity and humor, and a negative influence on ad attitude through ad truthfulness. The two conditions did not differ in ad attitude. As expected, the fear response did not differ between the literal and the two hyperbole conditions.

We clarify the role of replication in the field and outline the challenges inherent in replication studies in advertising research. We further elaborate on how researchers should engage in replication research to increase the truth value of advertising research while overcoming the obstacles to replication research. Finally, we discuss how advertising scholars, reviewers, and editors can facilitate replication research to reduce the share of false-positive results and accumulate knowledge in the discipline. We see replication as critical in advertising research, given the high variability of experimental factors and the applied nature of the field. Therefore, a better understanding of replications and the challenges of advertising research should inspire scholars to engage in more replication attempts and reviewers and editors to consider it for publication.","PeriodicalId":48111,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advertising","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136299584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
