However, few studies investigatehow consumers process negative publicity and how companies should react to it. In order to examine this question, twoexperiments were carried out: first, a laboratory experiment which tests how consumers process two different types ofnegative publicity (product attributes or company values); second, a field experiment comparing three different responses (noanswer, denial/reduction of offensiveness and corrective action) given by the company affected by the negative publicity.Results from the first study confirm the detrimental effect of negative publicity on consumer attitudes, indicate thatconsumers have a higher level of involvement with the message when it is concerned with the company´s values and suggesta moderating role of the product involvement on the influence of negative information on corporate image.
