D11. a Hidden Cost of Advocating: Attitude Depolarization After Recommending
The consequences of word-of-mouth recommendations on advocators themselves have largely been neglected in consumer research. The current work demonstrates paradoxical effects of advocacy on consumer attitudes, by illustrating reduced-level product evaluations following a consumer word-of-mouth episode. The results demonstrate a self-persuasion theory-based depolarization effect, mediated by metacognitive processing.
