Abstract: The current study integrates and applies advertising rhetoric and appraisal theory of emotion in preventive health promotions. The experiment was designed to test the effects of advertising rhetoric in conjunction with emotional appeals in a public service announcement (PSA) promoting the USDA food pyramid website. The study demonstrates that the combination of advertising rhetoric (a rhyme scheme and a metaphor trope) and emotional appeals (pride and shame) can influence ad-processing outcomes in print advertising. In particular, results show that the emotion pride is more effective in combination with a trope than the emotion shame in combination with a trope on readership of copy, attitude towards the ad, and behavioral intention. When paired with a scheme, pride did not differ from shame in its effect on advertising outcomes.
