In this paper, the authors posit that one of the reasons why consumers reject these aesthetically unexpected goods is because they lack a certain causal explanation, which can be clearly communicated through advertising. In four studies, including a field study, consumers exhibited higher preference for aesthetically unexpected goods when advertisements featured low causal uncertainty (i.e., few causes), particularly in comparison with when no causal information was provided. This effect occurred regardless of cause type (human versus natural).","PeriodicalId":51400,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advertising Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138624323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study confirms this effect but cautions that the managerial impact of age of acquisition is small. Brand exposure frequency and usage recency have a far greater effect on recognition than age of acquisition. The strongest age-of-acquisition effect is observed among individuals who are unfamiliar with the brand, suggesting that repetition, such as in advertising, is necessary. Respondents were slower to identify brands released before they turned 15, indicating that memorybased processes occur for early-learned brands, whereas late-learned brands relied more on processes that were not memory based, such as guessing.","PeriodicalId":51400,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advertising Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The challenge for both researchers and practitioners is to understand and provide retargeting that leads to conversions by the second round of communication. Drawing on an interpretive perspective and utilizing the expectancy theory of motivation, the authors of the current study interviewed 40 Gen Z mobile phone customers ages 18–24 years across four settings (U.S.A., Germany, Switzerland, and Kosovo) about their experiences of retargeting in the luxury fashion industry. Results show that customers share similarities in their evaluation of the first retargeting advertisement, but analysis revealed three types of customers (indifferent, seeker, and meticulous) with differing evaluations of the second retargeting advertisement.","PeriodicalId":51400,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advertising Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135368181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses in-depth interviews and social media text mining to examine college-aged consumers’ experiences, uses, and interpretations of ASMR content and advertising. Regarding ASMR content, themes that emerged include sensations described as weird at first but later “tingles,” relaxation, stress and anxiety management, use as a sleep-aid tool, and experiences enhanced with earphones. For ASMR advertising, themes encompass attention-grabbing, product-centered approaches; targeting young people; and friendly, soft-speaking voices. Sentiment analysis of 7,724 YouTube comments on IKEA’s ASMR campaign revealed that 24 percent of the total comments were categorized as positive.","PeriodicalId":51400,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advertising Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136113860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research compares divergent perspectives on whether and how brand activism influences brand attitudes and purchase intentions. Results from three studies, in which real-world brands and messages were used, identify a credibility gap between brands with a reputation for activism (established activist brands) and those without a reputation (emergent activist brands). Findings also reveal how personal issue knowledge moderates the credibility gap. Among other contributions, this research creates a new brand typology in the brand activism arena and empirically demonstrates a more favorable effect for established (versus emergent) activist brands when taking a stand.","PeriodicalId":51400,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advertising Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135817206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment presented in this paper was focused on young adults. When decision involvement was low, a care appeal, compared with a gender-neutral physical activity appeal, decreased eco-friendly intentions among males. Perceived self-congruence mediated the effect. This research recommends green appeals that are perceived as gender neutral.","PeriodicalId":51400,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advertising Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135248664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
