The Role of Affect, Music and Self-Awareness in Consumer Information Processing

People’s tendency to base their product evaluations on subjective reactions may depend on their sensitivity to these reactions. Experimental manipulations of self-awareness increased participants’ tendency to imagine using the products in a situational context activated by music, and consequently increased evaluations of products that were typically used in the situational context called to mind by the music.
