EXPRESS: Political Ideology Shapes Consumer Responses to Addictive Products
通过十项研究（包括相关研究、实地研究和实验），发现政治保守主义比自由主义更倾向于对成瘾产品持积极态度，原因在于更强的能动感降低了产品危险感知，而针对个人的威胁信息可削弱这一效应。
Abstract Consumption of addictive products, such as gambling, alcohol, tobacco, gaming, fast food, and illicit drugs, are an important public health and policy issue. Research identifies that political ideology influences positive consumer behaviors, but little is known about whether political ideology shapes negative consumer behavior. Through a ten study multi-method investigation including a large correlational study, field study, and eight online studies (including six experiments), the authors reveal the relationship between political ideology and consumer responses to addictive products. Results indicate that political conservatism, as opposed to liberalism, is associated with more favorable consumer attitudes, intentions, and behavior towards addictive products, due to a stronger sense of agency, which reduces perceptions of product danger. The findings show that the positive relationship between political conservatism, sense of agency, perceived product danger, and subsequent responses to addictive products can be attenuated through exposure to personally directed threat appeals (i.e., threat messages with second-person pronouns). This research advances political ideology research in marketing by demonstrating how it shapes responses to addictive products and provides practical ways to shift its potential harmful effects.
