Abstract

This study employs the theory of reasoned action to explore factors influencing consumer intention to pass along online video advertisements. Structural equation modeling test results indicated that attitude toward passing along online video ads and subjective norm positively influenced intention. Among the six expected outcomes (pleasure, affection, inclusion, escape, relaxation, and control) identified via the Interpersonal Communication Motives (ICM) scale, only pleasure and escape had positive impacts on attitude. Finally, normative beliefs had positive influences on subjective norm. Implications regarding pass-along behaviors are discussed.
