Abstract

This research investigates the effects of different framing forms including classic (positive vs. negative attribute and goal framing) as well as non-classic webcare (individual vs. group re-coveries framing) on online recovery observers. Findings suggest that bystanders appear to be particularly receptive to goal framing and non-classic recover framing when they are highly empathetic towards fellow shoppers of whom they witness complaints online. However, such framing effects are conditional on their perceived failure size.
