Relationships between the “Big Five” personality types and consumer attitudes in Indian students toward augmented reality advertising

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of the “Big Five” personality traits (extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness and neuroticism) on the adoption of augmented reality (AR), with a particular focus on the role AR may play in interactive marketing.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative-based approach was followed by a questionnaire survey, which was completed by 230 respondents comprising graduate and postgraduate students, using structural equation modelling.FindingsWhile the trait of openness was positively associated with the perceived ease of use of AR, the usefulness of AR and subjective norms, the trait of neuroticism was negatively associated with the perceived ease of use of AR. Extraversion was positively associated with subjective norms. Perceived ease of use of AR, the usefulness of AR and subjective norms were positively associated with attitudes toward AR.Practical implicationsThe data gathered will add a valuable contribution to the currently limited data available on empirical consumer behaviour research, particularly in relation to the adoption of AR for interactive marketing.Originality/valueThe findings of this study will benefit academics working on the adoption of technology in rapidly developing fields such as automation and artificial intelligence; the study also contributes to the emerging interdisciplinary domain of psychology, information systems, marketing and human behaviour.

Augmented Reality Marketing: A Systematic Literature Review and an Agenda for Future Inquiry

“…The characteristics of AR advertisements include AR advertisement type (e.g., quick response hypermedia and app response hypermedia) ( Uribe et al, 2021 ), AR interaction type (e.g., instrumental and hedonic) ( Tsai et al, 2020 ), and advertisement context (e.g., realistic and imaginative) ( Tsai et al, 2020 ). In addition, product type (i.e., think and feel) ( Tsai et al, 2020 ) and consumer personality traits (i.e., extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism) ( Srivastava et al, 2021 ; Uribe et al, 2021 ) also have influence on the consumers’ responses to AR advertisements. Specifically, AR advertisements enhance consumer physiological responses ( Pozharliev et al, 2021 ), boost their engagement ( Sung, 2021 ), and facilitate social experience sharing among consumers ( Sung, 2021 ).…”

“…The obtained results are important in the context of sports psychology. The human personality is visible in everyday behavior, consumer decisions, and the type of preferred music [ 8 , 79 , 80 ]. Sports coaches and psychologists need to pay attention to many aspects of athlete behavior.…”

Predicting ratings of social media feeds: combining latent-factors and emotional aspects for improving performance of different classifiers

“…Second, we have not considered the personality traits of users while determining the ratings from their SM feeds. Understanding customer personality traits along with emotion and sentiment scores will help to provide a different view of how the user reacted in that particular scenario (Srivastava et al, 2021). Suppose, a person who is usually silent reacts aggressively in one post, it must be that he/she is really disappointed with the service/product.…”
