Hardening My Heart: Persuasion Knowledge and Emotion Regulation

Research has examined when persuasion knowledge is used, yet little investigates whether consumers possess emotion-based persuasion knowledge. We demonstrate that consumers are naturally suspicious of sad (vs. happy) appeals and infer that the marketer is manipulating their emotions. Also, the accessibility of persuasion motives further influences consumers’ emotion regulation.
