Social Comparison to Advertising Depictions: Exploring Advertising Practitioners' Perspectives
This research examines how advertising practitioners conceptualize consumers’ social comparisons to ad depictions using a qualitative approach. We find practitioners perceive the process and the outcomes differently based on whether the intended audience is male or female. We offer implications for advertising practitioners and with regard to consumer welfare.
