Primes¶
- Narrative Persuasion
- The historical shift from "feature lists" to "brand stories" is a deliberate move from the argumentative route to narrative persuasion, a move Escalas (2007) documents experimentally by showing that narrative self-referencing transports consumers and renders persuasion insensitive to weak-argument scrutiny in ways analytical self-referencing does not.
