Virtual Influencers vs. Human Influencers in the Context of Influencer Marketing: The Moderating Role of Machine Heuristic on Perceived Authenticity of Influencers

While the popularity of virtual influencers in influencer marketing is on the rise, little is known about the reasons behind their increasing popularity. Furthermore, there is also a dearth of research examining why and how virtual influencers could be more effective than human influencers in influencing consumer purchase decisions. Drawing on the concept of perceived authenticity of influencers and machine heuristic, this study investigates the effects of influencer type (virtual influencer vs. human influencer) on the perceived authenticity of consumers. In addition, we also explore if machine heuristic will moderate the perceived authenticity of consumers and whether trust in influencers and purchase intentions will be subsequently associated with the perceived authenticity of the influencer. Results from an online between-subjects designed experiment (N = 130) indicated that virtual influencers were unexpectedly perceived as more authentic than human influencers. Additionally, the perceived authenticity of virtual influencers significantly increased among those with a strong belief in the machine heuristic. Subsequently, we found a positive association between the perceived authenticity of influencers and the extent of consumers’ trust in them. Additionally, trust in influencers was positively associated with consumers’ intention to purchase the products they promoted by the influencers. These findings provide valuable insights into the use of virtual influencers for marketing purposes. Further theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

희소 또는 인기? 소비자 심리 소유권과 제품 품질 인식에 대한 온라인 정보 단서 유형의 영향 연구

With the development of artificial intelligence, big data, and push technology, product information has taken on various forms, and online retailers are employing two strategies, scarcity/popularity clues and opportunity/cost-based promotion accessibility, to influence consumer purchase decisions. However, there has been little research on the effectiveness of these promotional strategies. In this paper, drawing on the scarcity heuristic model, we investigate, through three experiments, the impact of information cues and promotion accessibility on consumer’ perceptions of product quality, mediated by psychological ownership. The research findings indicate that, compared to popularity clues, consumers perceive higher product quality under scarcity clues. In the case of opportunitybased promotion accessibility, popularity clues promote a higher level of consumer perception of product quality compared to scarcity clues. In the case of cost-based promotion accessibility, scarcity clues promote a higher level of consumer perception of product quality. Psychological ownership of consumers acts as a mediator in the interaction between information cues and promotion accessibility, affecting consumers’ perception of product quality. This study not only explores the positive effects and underlying mechanisms of different types of information cues and promotion accessibility on customers’ perception of product quality in the online shopping context but also investigates the mediating role of psychological ownership in the impact pathways. This research contributes to enhancing the effectiveness of consumer shopping for businesses and platforms, creating a more appealing promotional environment and more attractive product information that consumers prefer.
