An Exploratory Study of the Impact of Social Media Influencers on Consumers' Perceived Wellbeing
22 September 2022
The digital transformation has increased the amount of time consumers spend on social media while interacting with social media influencers (SMIS). SMls are defined as consumers who act as third-party endorsers to shape attitudes and promote brands to their followers on their social media account. Previous research has focused on the effectiveness of brands using SMls as part of their digital strategies, however, little research has investigated how following SMls impacts consumers' well-being. In this workshop, Dr Aqilah Jahari covered this research which investigates how following SMls impacts' consumers' perceived well-being. Using social comparison theory and stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory, she explored an integrated model to investigate how social comparison can impact consumers' feelings, moderated by the sense of agency. Implications for marketing managers and policymakers are discussed.
