Abstract

This experiment compared the effects of warnings placed before, during, or after television beer advertisements. Warnings before or after the ads led to higher knowledge scores and fewer negative comments about the warning presentation than did warnings scrolled during the ads; warnings after and during but not before the ads significantly decreased positive comments about the ads. Earlier findings regarding effects of warning topic and quantitative information in the warnings were replicated.
