Since both publicity and advertising have a potential to change consumers’
attitudes and behavioral responses, the current study primarily focuses on the effect of
negative publicity and its influence on consumers’ brand evaluation. Further, the present study examines the moderating effect of corporate advertising on consumers’ attitudes
and behavioral responses to the company and its brands threatened by negative publicity.
First, to examine the relationship between negative publicity and consumers’ attitude,
relevant concepts such as the negativity effect, the credibility of publicity, crisis
communication, and corporate advertising effectiveness are explicated. Then a theoretical
framework, contextual priming effect is addressed. Contextual priming effect is based on
the fact that advertising contexts, the stimuli simultaneously presented with the
advertisement, could result in the change of beliefs or attitudes toward the advertised
brand, and therefore it affects consumers’ evaluations of the brand. Then, the
experimental design the present study takes is explained. Last, the discussion and the
limitation of the research are addressed to provide guidelines for future studies.
