The Effects of Comparative Processing and Mitigating Information on Customer Choice of a Brand With Negative Attributes

This paper explores how positive and negative information regarding a brand influences consumer decision-making when comparative processing is encouraged. Results show that when consumers receive mitigating information about a brand’s negative features, that information influences choice when the consumer engages in comparative processing, but not when distracted.
