When Emotional Messages Are More Abstract: the Effects of Message Frame and Levels of Construal on Negative Attitudes Towards Smoking
This paper examines the effects of message frame and levels of construal on negative attitudes towards smoking. We show that in abstract construal, emotional (vs. rational) message frame increase negative attitudes towards smoking. However, when concrete construal is activated, emotional and rational messages impact negative attitudes towards smoking similarly.
