9781330299210: Spontaneous Inference Processes in Advertising

Synopsis

This book explores the connection between inferences and persuasion in advertising. It examines how the presence or absence of conclusions and the prominence of consequences influence attitudes and memory. The author argues that omitting conclusions can be an effective persuasion technique when consequences are salient, as it encourages readers to draw their own conclusions and form favorable brand attitudes. Additionally, the book delves into the concept of spontaneous inference formation, suggesting that it is more likely to occur when the perceived costs of making an inference are low. Other topics covered include attitude accessibility and the role of effortful information processing in shaping attitudes. Through a series of experiments, the author provides insights into the complex relationship between inference, persuasion, and consumer behavior, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in designing effective advertising campaigns.
