Abstract:
The communication of anger is very common inonline review settings but has received little prior attention. Drawing fromemotion and social cognition research, we propose that although expressions ofanger in a review tend to decrease reader perceptions of review diagnosticity,the same expressions tend to increase the influence of the review on readerattitudes and decisions. Results from two laboratory experiments provideconsistent support for our claims. Our findings challenge the assumption thatreviews deemed more “helpful” by consumers are ultimately more persuasive, byenhancing current understanding of the interpersonal effects of emotion inonline reviews. They suggest important implications for review platforms,service providers, and manufacturers faced with the task of managing customerword-of-mouth.
