“…Generally, the more empathic the comforter, the more sensitive their comforting messages will be (Meyer, Boster, & Hecht, 1988;Stiff, Dillard, Somera, Kirn, & Sleight, 1988). Weger and Polcar (1997) offered an alternative explanation that focused on an individual's attachment style and ability to provide comfort.…”

“…Nonuniformity would be indicated by emergence of replications "as a significant predictor" (Jarboe, 1988), by low correlations between responses to one replication and responses to another (Jordan & Roloff, 1990;Stiff, et al, 1988) or by results that hold for one replication but not for another (Planalp, 1985;Kaid & Boynston, 1987;Kellerman & Reynolds, 1990).…”

“…Seven items were used to determine the extent to which participants were emotionally and empathetically involved or "drawn into" the processing of the advertising appeal (see Table 1). Items used were based on prior work by Stiff, Dillard, Somera, Kim, and Sleight (1988) and Stout and Leckenby (1986).…”

This article focuses on the relation between affect intensity and 3 fundamental dimensions of temperament-emotionality, sociability, and sensory arousability. The purpose was to show that individual differences in affect intensity as a dimension of temperament can influence not only advertising responses, but also the lifestyles and preferences of consumers. Study 1 confirmed the emotionality dimension in that high affect intensity individuals responded with significantly stronger levels of emotion when exposed to an affectively charged advertising appeal, but not when exposed to a nonemotional appeal. Studies 2 and 3 demonstrated that the fundamental dimensions of temperament are accompanied by heightened emotional intensity and do predict different preferences for lifestyle activities for high and low affect intensity consumers. A significant Affect Intensity × Gender interaction occurred indicating that both men and women expressed stronger emotions when experiencing activities that were gender-congruent (e.g., watching sports on TV for men, and smelling perfumes for women). Future research directions are also discussed.
