Accessibility or Diagnosticity?Disentangling the Influence of Culture on Persuasion Process and Attitudes Jennifer L. Aaker 2000 Joohyung Park 10/21/2008
Flow • Key Concepts • Theoretical Background • Accessibility-Diagnosticity Model • Experiments • Applying Theory
Key Concepts • Diagnosticity? • The extend of which inferences based on the information alone would be adequate to make a decision. • Importance of information (Importance and relevance) Ex.) Buying a Car Safety Features vs. Durability of Headlight Bulb
Key Concepts • Cultural Difference of Diagnosticity • Certain associations are more valued in one culture than in another culture. Source: http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/dl/free/0072537140/103163/arn37140_070_115.pdf
Key Concepts • Accessibility? • The activation potential of available knowledge • Operationalized through number of exposure to certain information • Cultural Difference of Accessibility • Certain associations are more accessible in one culture than in another culture. • Ex) Fung-sui in Asia but not in Western Countries
Theoretical Background Culture Attitude But how? What drives asymmetric attitudes among different cultures? Diagnosticity Accessibility
Theoretical Background http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaewaVqre6o&feature=related Better Appeals to American Achievement / Success More Favorable Attitude among Americans http://www.adic.co.kr/ads/list/showTvAd.do?ukey=91900&oid=&pageNumber=1 Better Appeals to Korean Filial Devotion More Favorable Attitude among Koreans
Accessibility-Diagnosticity Model • The likelihood that any piece of information will be used as an input into a decision depends on the diagnosticity and accessibility of the input in memory. • What mainly drives cross-cultural attitude differences? • Accessibility? Or Diagnosticity?
Operationalization of Concepts High “Culture - distinct” Associations • Ruggedness (US) • Peacefulness (Japan) Low “Culture - distinct” Associations • Excitement (similar in US and Japan)
Experiment 1 Attitudes Not Supported Supported Supported 5 4 3 American 2 Japanese 1 Personality Dimension Ruggedness Peacefulness Excitement
Accessibility-Diagnosticity Model Experiment 2 & 3 What mainly drives cross-cultural attitude differences? Diagnosticity? vs. Accessibility?
Accessibility-Diagnosticity Model If Diagnosticity > Accessibility Increasing Accessibility (through elaboration) No change in attitude pattern If Accessibility > Diagnosticity Increasing Accessibility (through elaboration) Change in Attitude pattern
Anglo-American Asian-American Hi Low Hi Low Ruggedness 3.17 5.00 4.83 4.07 Peacefulness 5.16 4.13 - - Excitement 4.76 4.26 3.55 4.96 Experiment 2 • Manipulating Accessibility through Elaboration Levels Support for accessibility explanation
American Japanese Hi Low Hi Low Ruggedness 4.43 4.44 4.50 3.58 Peacefulness 4.97 3.88 4.25 4.64 Sophistication 4.50 3.94 4.33 4.42 Experiment 3 • Manipulating Accessibility through Elaboration Levels Support for accessibility explanation
Experiment 2 & 3 • Manipulating Accessibility through Elaboration Levels Experiment 2 Experiment 3 Anglo-American Japanese Hi Low Hi Low Ruggedness 3.17 5.00 4.50 3.58 Peacefulness 5.16 4.13 4.25 4.64 Increased accessibility in high culture-distinct association does not lead to more favorable attitudes
Applying Theory • Appeal highly culture-distinct brand image across different cultures? Korea US Can be effective if consistent campaign is possible
Experiment 2 & 3 Why increase in accessibility doesn’t induce more favorable attitude? As elaboration increases, • Increased counter-arguments • Decreased support arguments • Increased message irrelevant thoughts
Experiment 2 & 3 • Mediation Analysis “ Only Significant Under Low Accessibility ” “Under High Accessibility ” Culture Attitude differences VTI* (Valenced Ruggedness/ Peacefulness, Thoughts) VTI* (Valanced Ruggedness/ Peacefulness, Thoughts) *Valenced Thought Index : Reference Estimation of Diagnosticity
