Abstract

Advertising is oft described as the art of capitalism. This indispensable form of communication, in all its Technicolor glory, has the power to shape culture, conscience and commerce. Therein lies the (potential) rub. Advertising promotes consumption as the solution to all of life’s problems. Consumers appear to benefit when conveyed information reduces ignorance and lowers transaction costs for legitimate needs. However, consumers may also be adversely affected when the persuasive influence on consumer behavior extends to the production of previously undiscovered wants or desires. The resultant veil of consumerism enables individuals to overlook the inevitable hollowness that underlies the pursuit of wellbeing through material goods and services. Academic research reinforcing the efficacy of advertising and highlighting its cautionary contours abounds across multiple disciplines. This begs the question, ‘Does advertising, in fact, help or hinder consumer well-being (CWB)?’ The authors conduct a systematic review of the literature between the years 1980 (the emergence of CWB as a formal construct in the marketing literature) and 2020 to establish the extent to which extant research has progressed in response to this broad question. Grounded theory supports a series of emergent themes, as well as inconspicuous gaps that require attention to move the field forward. A framework is developed, and research agenda proposed, to guide future study.

黑暗与光明之间的舞蹈:对广告在消费者福祉中的作用的系统回顾(1980-2020)

摘要

广告经常被描述为资本主义的艺术。这种不可或缺的交流方式,在其所有 Technicolor 荣耀中,具有塑造文化、良心和商业的力量。这就是(潜在的)摩擦。广告将消费作为解决所有生活问题的方法。当传达的信息减少无知并降低合法需求的交易成本时,消费者似乎受益。然而,当对消费者行为的说服性影响扩展到先前未被发现的需求或欲望的产生时,消费者也可能受到不利影响。由此产生的消费主义面纱使个人忽略了通过物质商品和服务追求幸福背后不可避免的空洞。加强广告效果并突出其警示轮廓的学术研究在多个学科中比比皆是。这就引出了一个问题,“广告实际上是有助于还是阻碍消费者福祉 (CWB)?” 作者对 1980 年(CWB 作为营销文献中的正式结构的出现)和 2020 年之间的文献进行了系统回顾,以确定现有研究在回答这一广泛问题时取得的进展程度。扎根理论支持一系列新兴主题,以及需要注意推动该领域向前发展的不起眼的差距。制定了一个框架,并提出了研究议程,以指导未来的研究。帮助还是阻碍消费者福祉(CWB)?作者对 1980 年(CWB 作为营销文献中的正式结构的出现)和 2020 年之间的文献进行了系统回顾,以确定现有研究在回答这一广泛问题时取得的进展程度。扎根理论支持一系列新兴主题,以及需要注意推动该领域向前发展的不起眼的差距。制定了一个框架,并提出了研究议程,以指导未来的研究。帮助还是阻碍消费者福祉(CWB)?作者对 1980 年(CWB 作为营销文献中的正式结构的出现)和 2020 年之间的文献进行了系统回顾,以确定现有研究在回答这一广泛问题时取得的进展程度。扎根理论支持一系列新兴主题,以及需要注意推动该领域向前发展的不起眼的差距。制定了一个框架,并提出了研究议程,以指导未来的研究。以及需要注意推动该领域向前发展的不起眼的差距。制定了一个框架,并提出了研究议程,以指导未来的研究。以及需要注意推动该领域向前发展的不起眼的差距。制定了一个框架,并提出了研究议程,以指导未来的研究。
