Results from analyses on data from a large telephone survey showed that indicators of program-induced valence and intensity significantly affected several advertising processing measures. Intensity had a positive impact on measures of attention and recall, while valence was positively related to attitude toward the advertisement. Next, we investigated the moderating influences of variations in commercial placement on these relations. We found that effects of intensity and valence on commercial processing were stronger for interrupting blocks than shoulder blocks. However, the position of the commercial within the block did not have an impact on these carryover effects.}, issn = {0021-8499}, URL = {https://www.journalofadvertisingresearch.com/content/45/1/49}, eprint = {https://www.journalofadvertisingresearch.com/content/45/1/49.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Advertising Research} }
