Previous research has suggested that social exclusion could strengthen consumers' reliance on feelings versus reasons to evaluate a product. This research concentrates on the moderating effect of culture on consumers' responses to social exclusion. Results show that under individualism (collectivism) culture, social exclusion leads to a greater choice preference for advertisement with superior feelings- (reasons-) based product attributes, compared with social inclusion. Moreover, we find that the interplay between culture and social exclusion is discrepant under two types of social exclusion (i.e., being socially ignored-feeling invisible, and being socially rejected-feeling isolated). This research provides a new cultural perspective on the impact of social exclusion on advertisement persuasion and offers actionable implications for managers to strategically design advertisements to enhance the persuasiveness.
