Ad Cognitions in Television Ad Processing: the Expectation-Motivation-Matching Model (E3m)

ABSTRACT - In the Expectation-Motivation-Matching Model (E3M), the authors propose a conceptualization of ad processing including antecedents of ad cognitionsB1) product interest, and 2) schemas for ads of a product category. Such schemas include expectations for ad themes to be used, and expectations for feelings to be experienced during television ad viewing. The E3M also includes a richer operationalization of ad cognitions using the constructs of 1) motivations and 2) the matching of the ad with viewer expectations for television ads of the product category. The E3M receives empirical support through large-scale ad pre-testing and structural equation modeling.
