Learning About the Self Through Advertising: the Effect of Behaviorally-Targeted Advertising on Consumer Self-Perceptions and Behavior
The authors demonstrate that behaviorally-targeted advertising changes consumers’ beliefs about themselves. These self-perceptions not only affect purchase intentions, but also actions related to the trait learned from the behaviorally-targeted ad. Such learning about the self depends on consumers’ awareness that the ad is targeted and their liking of targeted ads.
