Abstract: | In this paper the effects of appeals that focus on preventing an undesirable situation (i.e., prevention-appeals) are investigated as well as appeals that focus on promoting a desirable situation (i.e., promotion-appeals). It is argued that the effectiveness of promotion- and prevention-appeals is contingent on follower regulatory focus. In two experiments it is indicated that prevention-appeals lead to better performance than promotion-appeals for more prevention-focused followers, while the reverse is true for more promotion-focused followers. |
