消费者对动态视频行销的感知及其机制

在视频行销研究中,我们重点关注了速度线索这一视频行销常用的优化手段,即行销管理者、广告设计者通常会通过改变视频广告中代言人的动作速度来试图影响消费者对产品的感知。我们发现,视频广告中应用慢动作技术反而会降低行销手段的说服力,并且该效应的心理与认知机制是消费者所产生的意图性感知(Perception of intentionality),即消费者认为代言人的慢速的代言行为不是自发而是 “故意的”。该研究同时采用了认知科学的眼动分析(Eye-tracking)方法印证了该结论。综上,该研究发展和完善了消费者视觉处理与心理机制的理论,为研究消费者在新媒体环境下的行为机制提供新的视角。
