Emotional Counter-Conditioning of Brand Attitudes

How can you improve brand attitudes that have been tainted by negative emotional associations? We show that conditioning with oppositely valenced emotions can be effective, but that that the level of effectiveness depends on which emotion is chosen as “anti-dote.” We introduce theory about which emotions are most effective anti-dotes.
