Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of how individuals monitor the time in their life on persuasion and the moderating role of goal orientation and types of persuasive message in the relationship between time monitoring and persuasion. By controlling participants' time horizon perspectives (THPs), an experiment using a 2 (THP: limited vs. expansive) × 3 (goal orientation: approach vs. avoidance vs. control) × 2 (message type: emotional vs. knowledge-related) between-subjects design was conducted.. Results showed that when participants with limited THP, those who oriented avoidance goals were more favorable to knowledge-related messages, whereas those who oriented approach goals preferred emotional messages. Participants with expansive THP were more persuaded by knowledge-related messages, regardless of pursuing goal types.

이 연구는 설득에 있어서 사람들이 시간을 어떻게 모니터링 하는 지 그리고 목표 지향과 설득적 메시지 유형이 어떻게 시간 모니터링과 설득 사이의 관계에서 조절 역할을 하는 지를 살펴보는 데 목적이 있다. 실험을 통해 시간 지평 관점(제한 vs. 확장)과 목표 지향(접근 vs. 회피 vs. 통제), 그리고 메시지 유형(정서적 vs. 지식 관련)의 상호작용 효과가 검증되었다. 구체적으로, 제한된 THP를 갖는 참가자들은 회피 목표를 지향할 때 지식 관련 메시지에 더 설득된 반면, 접근 목표를 지향할 때는 정서적 메시지에 더 설득되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 확장된 THP를 가진 참가자들은 목표 추구 유형과 상관없이 모두 지식 관련 메시지에 더 설득되었다. 이 같은 결과는 광고 등으로 대표되는 설득적 메시지의 효과에 있어 피험자의 연령과 그들이 갖고 있는 시간 지평 관점에 대한 고려 뿐 아니라 캠페인 등을 통해 유발할 수 있는 목표의 유형, 그리고 메시지의 구성이 상호유기적으로 영향을 미친다는 것을 보여준다.
