本研究从个体认知差异角度出发,引入解释水平理论,研究时间距离与解释水平对消费者赞助评价的影响。通过采用实验法,以发生在不同时刻的赞助事件为实验材料,探讨消费者依赖不同解释水平的赞助信息对赞助事件的评价,及消费者进行赞助评价的内部机制。发现时间距离和解释水平同时对赞助评价和加工流畅性产生影响,并且,加工流畅性在消费者赞助评价的过程中具有显著的中介作用。研究结论对赞助评价效应研究提供了理论指导和管理建议。
The research is to study the influences of temporal distance and construal level on consumer's evaluation of sponsorship based on construal level theory. By experiments, this study examines (1) how consumers evaluate the sponsorship brands under different construal levels information when the events occur at different moments; and (2) what is the internal mechanism of the evaluation. The results test the hypotheses that temporal distance and construal level both exert positive influence on sponsorship and on processing fluency, and more importantly, processing fluency plays a significant medium role. Implications for theory and practice of sponsorship are discussed.
