Consumer Emotional Intelligence and Its Effects on Goal-Oriented Appeals in Advertising

This study demonstrates that consumer emotional intelligence (CEI) influences the persuasiveness of messages in ads, suggesting that CEI is a critical individual difference to consider in predicting consumers’ responses to advertising messages. Importantly, it suggests that the effect of CEI is pronounced when ad messages are prevention-focused (vs. promotion-focused).
