Summary:碩士 === 長庚大學 === 工商管理學系 === 102 === The literature has indicated that comparative advertising intensity and brand attachment will have impact on the effectiveness of comparative ads. However, little is known about how is the interaction between comparative advertising intensity and brand attachment, and in order to influence on advertisement. This study addressed this issue using the “resonance effect” from physics. We found that the implicit affection of consumer is as the natural frequency. If the comparative advertising intensity can match the frequency, which is the implicit affection of consumer, and it will obviously have stronger advertising effectiveness. Therefore, this research project is designed three studies to address this issue. To discuss this issue, we use three different kinds of products and advertised brand respectively. Three experimental design is a factorial one with 2 (comparative ad intensity: weak ads vs. strong ads) x 2 (brand attachment: weak attachment vs. strong attachment). Participants were randomly assigned to the weak intensity group or the strong intensity group. According to the participants’ level of attachment to the advertised brand, we separated it into two groups, strong attachment and weak attachment. Study1 initially discovered the interaction of comparative advertising intensity and brand attachment and were having margin of significance to the brand loyalty. Study two added two covariates, and also found that the interaction between comparative advertising intensity and brand attachment will obviously increase the attitude toward brand. Study three verified again the interaction between comparative advertising intensity and brand attachment which will increase the attitude toward brand. Moreover, study three also found that resonance can moderate this interaction to the effectiveness of attitude toward brand.
