Feeling Hopeful in Response to High/Low Prototypical Identity-Linked Appeals: the Distinctive Roles of Affective and Cognitive Social Identity
Research shows identity-linked messages need utilize established social group characterizations to be effective. We find priming consumers’ identity using less/more established (low/high prototypical) characterizations has differential effects on purchase intention. The emotion, hope, mediates this process. Three experimental studies with US MTurk samples, using gender/nationality identities, supported our hypothesized effects.
