The purpose of this study is finding out the internal process of humor advertising and the relationship between pupillary response and advertising effect using the physiological index called pupillary response. We used an advertising types of comic wit which through the process of incongruity-resolution. To find out the process of incongruity-resolution, we divided the process into two steps. First step is incongruity step which has no clue about advertising message and second step is resolution step which has a clue about advertising message. The incongruity step and the resolution step were showed to participants in order. Also, we measured the pupillary response with the eye-tracker apparatus. When we analyzed our data, we divided the incongruity level which was divided into three parts (incongruity level is High, Middle and Low). The result showed that the process of incongruity-resolution occurred and three parts (incongruity level is High, Middle and Low) had different responses. When participants look at the advertising which has a clue, their pupil size bigger than when participants look at the advertising which has no clue. Also, the quantity of changes of pupil size varied as incongruity level. In addition to the quantity of changes of pupil size had an effect on advertising effect. Therefore, in this study, we suggested that the pupillary response to measure the effectiveness of humor advertising can be useful.

The present study evaluated the predictions that different degrees of dissatisfaction produce different types of complaining behavior and the degree of satisfaction with complaint handling influences word-of-mouth and repurchase intention. In terms of the degree of dissatisfaction, public action complainer was most dissatisfied, private action complainer was less so, while no action complainer was the least. With respect to the degree of satisfaction with complaint handling, private action complainer was more satisfied than public action complainer. Moreover, for private action complainer with higher satisfaction, repurchase intention increased and negative word of mouth decreased. By contrast, for public action complainer even with satisfaction with complaint handling, this did not contribute to the increase in repurchase intention and reduction in negative word of mouth. Based on these results, it was concluded that a more effective strategy would be to target specifically complaint handling at private action complainer to increase repurchase intention and to reduce negative word of mouth.

The component of social contribution and the component of trust influence exert more effect comparatively on all consumers' behavior intention in case of company of high tech-intensity product.
This article examined inconsistent usage of the term ‘image’ in reference to brand, corporate, and store images and the measurement problems that have prevented theory development. The study first traces the history of the term's ambiguous usage in marketing and advertising research, and presents classification systems for organizing post-1950s definitions into parsimonious groups. Next, it provided an overview of measurement problems related to the lack of nominal and operational definitions. It ended with a summary of where we are now and what needs to be done to advance theory development. One of the recent developments in consumer psychology is the growing emphasis on low-involvement consumer behavior. Under a variety of circumstances, consumers are neither capable nor motivated to elaborate product information. It is assumed that, under these circumstances, they are likely to make use of product or brand images. This concept is frequently referred to in the marketing research literature. However, image is not an unequivocal concept. There is lack of agreement on what constitutes an image, on the possible psychological functions of images, on the conditions under which these psychological functions are addressed, and on how an image should be operationalized. In this article, an attempt is made to propose an conceptualization and operationalization that is based on an integration of the literature. Also, a specification is provided of the psychological functions that images may have under particular marketing communication conditions
