Broadening the present understanding of how expertise moderates the schema-incongruity effect (i.e., the notion that a product moderately incongruent with the schema evoked for it in memory is associated with a comparatively positive product evaluation), this study argues that people with higher, not lower, degrees of expertise experience incongruity and prefer moderately incongruent products over congruent ones. Because people with low expertise in complex product categories lack a developed schema against which to assess encountered products, they will be insensitive to incongruity. People with high expertise, on the other hand, typically have developed schemata and can therefore perceive incongruity and respond accordingly. Consumers with different levels of wine expertise participated in a study in which they were given congruent or incongruent information, as well as different levels of information elaboration, about a wine prior to tasting and evaluating it. The results of this study support the above argument: Expertise moderates the incongruity effect such that it is prevalent only for experts, and schema-level processing moderates expertise’s moderating effect on the incongruity effect.

Relevant sex appeals in advertising: Gender and commitment context differences
This research investigates differences in men's and women's attitudes toward ads featuring product-relevant sex appeals. It is found that women, but not men, were more negative toward an ad featuring an attractive opposite-sex model when their commitment thoughts were heightened. Women were also more negative toward an ad with an attractive same-sex model in the presence of commitment thoughts, but only when they scored high on sociosexuality. Men appeared unaffected, regardless of their level of sociosexuality. Commitment thoughts were manipulated by two types of prime, a parenting prime (study1) and a romantic prime (study 2). Results are explained by differences in how men and women react to sexual material and by differences in men's and women's evolved mating preferences.

Brand alliances: the role of brand concept consistency
Brand placements have become popular as an alternative brand communication tool for many companies. Previous research on brand placements has mainly considered the communication effects of brands placed in television programmes, films and computer games. To our knowledge, only one recently published article has looked into brand placements in narrative fiction. Hence, the current article is among the first papers to study the effects of brand placements in narrative fiction, and among the first papers to investigate consumers’ attitudes towards such placements. The basic proposition is that brand prominence (high plot integration versus low plot integration) is positively related to favourable attitudes towards the brand. Additionally, we propose that plot integration interacts with reader involvement in the text, thereby increasing the importance of visible and dominant brands placed in the text for high-involvement consumers. An experiment manipulating plot integration and reader involvement supports our proposed main and interaction effects.

Attribution of Service Failure: The Effect of Locus and Control on Customer Satisfaction and Switching Intention
[Conference Poster]. Event
A test of Weiner’s attribution model failed to find the proposed effects of locus and control on satisfaction and switching intention after service failure. There was no effect on satisfaction and a reverse effect of locus on switching. Participants were more likely to switch service provider if they had participated in the service production. The effect of satisfaction on switching was large and significantly larger in the low participation/high control and high participation/low control situations compared to the low participation/low control and high participation/high control situations. Results can be explained by the actor-observer effect and threat to a positive self-view.
