Abstract

Online consumer reviews (OCRs) have become an important part of online consumers’ decision-making to purchse products. Consumers use OCRs not only to get a better understanding of the characteristics of products but also to learn about other customers’ experiences with them. Drawing upon Elaboration Likelihood Model, this research investigates the predictors of popularity and helpfulness of OCRs. The results of the study show that longer reviews, as well as those with extreme star ratings, are more popular. Moreover, the amount of hedonic and utilitarian cues in a review and its sentiment significantly influence perceptions of online consumers regarding its helpfulness. The results also show how product type moderates the effect of utilitarian and hedonic cues on helpfulness. Our results can be used by online review websites to develop more efficient methods for sorting OCRs.

According to Cao et al. [14], some reviews are too long to absorb the attention of customers and may not be read by them. Therefore, online consumers may not read extremely long reviews because it takes too much time and effort to read them. This study examines the quadratic relationship of the review length on review popularity to test whether too short or too long reviews are less likely to be read by the customers.
