  • Description: This research investigates the impact of children's affective reactions elicited by TV ads on two essential indicators of advertising effectiveness: the attitude toward the ad ( A ad) and post exposure brand attitude ( A bp). Working with children as subjects, minimizing forced exposure and using a real program in which real commercials were embedded, were the authors' methodological choices. This offered a setting as naturalistic as possible to assess the impact of verbal as well as non-verbal affective reactions, the latter being measured through facial expressions. It was clearly found that the evaluative judgments of the ad elements of execution — but not of the ad arguments — are instrumental in shaping children's A ad and A bp. Verbal affective reactions, especially the positive ones, are important predictors of A ad and A bp. The link between A ad and A bp is significant both for known and unknown brands. The contribution of facial expressions is limited. A ad does not mediate the impact of affective reactions on A bp. Finally, limitations of this study are pinpointed and issues for further research are offered.
