Participants' reactions to the high fit ad were more favorable when they had a collectivist mindset than when they had an individualist mindset. These respondents were more attuned to the fit between the endorser and the message being communicated. As indicated earlier, fit could come from the consistency between the message and how it was said as well as who said it. In Experiment 4, the endorser's image fit that of someone working hard, trying not to let anything beat him. In contrast, his image did not fit the idea of being cool and trendy. Participants who had a collectivist mindset were more sensitive to this difference than participants with an individualist mindset and consequently evaluated the ad more favorably when the message fit the endorser's image.
