Definition Attitude:a relatively global and enduring evaluation of an object, issue, person, or action
INFLUENCES • What influences consumers’ attitudes toward specific products/brands?
Elaboration Likelihood Model Focus of model: Determining whether and under what conditions an individual will elaborate on (process) the key components of a persuasive message Main proposition: There is more than one way to skin a cat (i.e., there are two routes to persuasion) (1) central route: person focuses on key arguments in the persuasive communication and forms their attitude based on that (central) information (2) peripheral route: person focuses on something other than the key arguments in the persuasive communication and forms their attitude based on that (peripheral) information
The Elaboration Likelihood Model of Persuasion Exposure to Persuasive Communication Motivated to Elaborate? no Peripheral Route Processing yes no Able to Elaborate? yes Central Route Processing
The ELM: Detecting Central vs. Peripheral Processing • Cognitive Response Approach • Method for examining consumers’ cognitive processing of • ad messages • Central Route Processing indicated by: • (a) counterarguments (product) • (b) support arguments (product) • (c) source derogations • Peripheral Route Processing indicated by: • (a) curiosity statements • (b) ad execution thoughts
QUESTIONS Should ads always encourage central route processing? What ad design factors are most effective assuming central versus peripheral processing? Can marketers predict how an ad will be processed?
