A theoretical and methodological framework for investigating the automatic influence of affect induced by advertising on subsequent brand evaluative judgments are described. The theoretical framework utilizes the constructs of implicit versusexplicit memory and controlled versus automatic information processing to characterize the unintentional nature of advertising effects. Themethodological framework employs the process dissociation procedure for separating the contribution of automatic influence of ad-induced affect from other memory inputs on brand judgments. Two experiments were conducted and they provided strong support to the hypotheses that ad-induced affect can be automatically activated upon presence of brand name cues, and thereby constiuting an independent source of influence on postexposure brand judgments. |
