“…In the recent literature on SMIs, researchers have called for SMI‐related investigations to pay special attention to consumer‐specific characteristics such as consumers' attachment to SM (Baboo et al, 2022; Bi & Zhang, 2022), interactive tendencies in PSI‐SMIs (Lou, 2022; Fazli‐Salehi et al, 2022), and susceptibility to online information (Stöckli & Hofer, 2020). By addressing these calls, the present study not only has filled some of the overlooked research gaps but has also extended the SM influence literature, which mostly has restricted itself to the investigations of source‐related effects (De Veirman et al, 2017; Gunawan & Huarng, 2015; Kay et al, 2020; Kim & Kim, 2021; Lee & Watkins, 2016; Shan et al, 2020; Sokolova & Kefi, 2020) or content‐related characteristics (Casaló et al, 2020; De Veirman & Hudders, 2020; Evans et al, 2017; Gunawan & Huarng, 2015).…”
