So Close I Can Almost Sense It: the Impact of Differences in Sensory Imagery Distance on Consumer Attitudes and Intentions
Across four studies, we show how images evoked using different sensory modalities affect both the perceived physical and psychological distances between the consumer and the stimulus, ultimately affecting the consumer’s attitudes. In general, more proximal (vs. distal) sensory images lead to higher attitudes for physically or psychologically close (distant) experiences.
