The Inverse Power of Praise: How Pro-Social Marketing Messages Influence Consumer Behavior
We investigate the impact of different framings of pro-social marketing messages on consumers’ subsequent behaviors. We show that mere exposure to customer-praise messages (compared to company-praise and no-praise) licenses subsequent self-interested behaviors. Also, we identify two characteristics of praising messages and an individual difference variable that moderate this effect.
