Beyond Attitude Structure: Toward the Informational Determinants of Attitude
Abstract
The author argues that marketing research has focused too narrowly on the static structure of attitude at the expense of its informational determinants. An experimental study investigates the effects of one fundamental dimension of advertising content on the components of attitude structure. Specifically, the results suggest that the factualness/evaluativeness of a persuasive message exerts a positive effect on those beliefs considered most important; that these beliefs in turn determine affect; and that these effects of communication on attitude components are mediated by a set of intervening cognitive reactions, such as perceived message credibility. These findings suggest implications for marketing decisions, public policy, and the future course of attitude research in marketing.

“Whilst independent and distinct, the impact of claim specificity on claim credibility is similar to that of objective (rather than subjective) information (Ford, Smith and Swasy, 1990; Holbrook, 1978), and of substantive (rather than associative) claims (Chan, 2000; Chan and Lau, 2004).”

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.
