Abstract:

This study investigated the impact of motivational types on viewing time, memory strength (sensitivity), and decision making (criterion bias) in response to pop-up advertisements with positive and negative content. The motivational types were measured using the Motivational Activation Measurement developed by A. Lang and her colleagues. The MAM indexes the degree of an individual’s tendency to approach pleasant stimuli or to avoid unpleasant situations.
Individuals high in positivity offset viewed positive pop-up ads longer than individuals low in positivity offset, demonstrating more exploratory and approaching responses to positive stimuli. Individuals high in negativity bias spent longer time watching negative pop-up ads, which demonstrates allocation of more attentional resources to the ads, compared to those low in negativity bias. In accordance with the previous findings, positivity offset was found to be not a predictor for encoding. To the contrary, individuals high in negativity bias remembered the ads better than those low in negativity bias; these people have a tendency of remember novel events or objects better, since they could force their environment to change.
The criterion bias data revealed participants high in positivity offset had more conservative decision criterion, compared to participants low in positivity offset. Individuals high in negativity bias also showed more conservative decision criterion compared to individuals low in negativity bias. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
