The Attentional Mechanism of Message Sensation Value: Interaction between Message Sensation Value and Argument Quality on Message Effectiveness
Abstract
Using a secondary data analysis on adolescents’ evaluations of 60 antimarijuana public service announcements, this study examined the role of message sensation value (MSV) as an attention distractor. The results supported the prediction based on the Elaboration Likelihood Model that MSV might be a distractor of attention to reduce ad persuasiveness when the argument quality was high and to facilitate ad persuasiveness when the argument quality was low. Furthermore, this interaction was evident only for adolescents with greater risk for marijuana use, suggesting that high MSV messages were especially distracting for the high risk adolescents. Specific MSV subcomponents contributing to this interaction were explored. Possible explanations for the interaction effect as well as implications for antidrug ad design were discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
