Putting Your Best Face Forward: the Effects of Negative Affect on Agent Evaluation
EXTENDED ABSTRACT - When consumers encounter a firm, they are typically confronted by a Aface@ whether it be a celebrity spokesperson or a customer contact employee. Typically these faces are happy, smiling faces. That is, the prevailing assumption seems to be that a positive face (i.e., a face that conveys positive affect) is the best face for a firm to put forward.
