The Influence of Temperature on Consumer’S Reaction to Emotional Appeals

We find that cold physical temperature enhances consumers’ attitudes to emotionally warm ads; warm physical temperature decreases consumers’ responses to emotionally warm ads and instead enhances consumers’ attitudes towards emotionally cold ads.
