Abstract
This research investigates how and why different construal levels and different appeal frames jointly influence persuasion. The results show that matching high-level construals with gain frames and low-level construals with loss frames encourages individuals to pay more attention to the information in the marketing communication (experiment 1). This increased attention enhances processing fluency and leads to a) higher intentions to engage in cholesterol lowering behavior (experiment 1), b) more favorable brand attitudes toward a fictitious printer (experiment 2), and c) greater willingness to donate to an environmental organization (experiment 3). Further, it appears that under matching conditions consumers devote greater attention to message processing and thus are more sensitive to argument strength than consumers in non-matching conditions (experiment 3).
