a theory of persuasion; psychologists Petty, Cacioppo, and Schumann theorize that the route of persuasion depends on the consumer's level of involvement with the product and the message; when consumers have high involvement with the product or the message. they will attend to product-related information, such as product attributes and benefits or demonstrations, at deeper, more elaborate levels; this can lead to product beliefs, positive brand attitudes, and purchase intention; on the other hand, people who have low involvement with the product or the message have little of no reason to pay attention to it or to comprehend the central message of the ad; as a result, direct persuasion is also low, and consumers form few if any brand beliefs, attitudes, or purchase intentions; however, these consumers might attend to some peripheral aspect of the as or commercial--say, the pictures in the ad or the actors in a commercial--for their entertainment value; and whatever they feel or think about these peripheral, nonproduct aspects might integrate into a positive attitude toward the ad
