The Illusion of Processing Fluency on Pro-Social Campaigns: Unjustifiable Efforts Produce Guilty Feelings
This study provides evidences that attitudes in processing pro-social campaigns are moderated by different goals. We found that if one’s goal is dishonorable, putting extra effort into difficult processing fluency (DPF) campaigns causes negative effects. The increase in guilt when dealing with DPF campaigns explains the underlying mechanism.
