“Go Green” For Now Or Future? the Effect of Message Framing, Construal Level, and Environmental Concern
Building on message framing and construal level theory, this research finds, from two studies, that the congruency between message framing (i.e. gain/loss) and construal level (i.e. now/future) increases message effectiveness in green advertising. Furthermore, salience of the congruency effect varies in line with the level of consumer environmental concern.
