An Examination of Comparative and Noncomparative Television Commercials: The Effects of Claim Variation and Repetition on Cognitive Response and Message Acceptance

Belch, George E.·1981·Journal of Marketing Research

Abstract

A cognitive response approach is used to examine the effects of one- and two-sided comparative and noncomparative commercials seen over three levels of repetition. Results indicate qualitative differences in the mediating roles of cognitive responses for comparative and noncomparative messages. However, no differences in the relative effectiveness of comparative and noncomparative messages are found for attitude and purchase intention measures. Also, message sidedness does not have a moderating impact on reactions to the two types of messages, and reactions to comparative messages are not influenced by prior preferences for the comparison brand.

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.
