Abstract

Through the theoretical lens of Petty and Cacioppo (1986)’s Elaboration Likelihood
Model (ELM), the study posits that congruency of gender characteristics between
olfactory and visual stimuli during a media conference would influence message
reception. The study assessed the journalists’ states and evaluations of organization
and spokesperson, as well as their news articles written based on the spokesperson’s
message.
