An Empirical Examination of the Structural Antecedents of Attitude toward the Ad in an Advertising Pretesting Context
Abstract
Recent research has identified attitude toward the ad (A Ad ) as an important construct mediating the effects of advertising on brand attitude and purchase intention. To date, however, little attention has been directed toward explaining the origins of A Ad . The authors present the latest version of a theory of A Ad formation, report the results of an empirical test of a portion of that theory, and offer further refinements to the theory based on the observed results. Implications of the findings for advertising practice are discussed.

“In line with other forms of advertising, the perceived credibility of the green advertisement is a key antecedent of attitudes towards the ad and the brand (Choi and Rifon, 2002; MacKenzie and Lutz, 1989; Tucker et al. , 2012).”

In the citing paper
“To the extent that the credibility of the claim influences the credibility of the advertisement (Lutz, MacKenzie and Belch, 1983), and thus consumer attitudes to the ad and the brand (MacKenzie and Lutz, 1989; Tucker et al ., 2012), the question of how claim credibility might be ensured and enhanced is fundamental to the development of effective advertising.”

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.
