Subliminal Prime-To-Behavior Effects

Abstract

Two experiments show that subliminal priming of goals and traits influence consumption behavior in goal-consistent and trait-consistent ways. Subliminal goal primes are influential when the goal is already active, regardless of differences in self-monitoring. Subliminal trait primes are influential when self-monitoring is high rather than low, regardless of goal activation.
