Abstract

This chapter delves into the use of shockvertising to evoke moral emotions, with a specific focus on the plastic issue. It reviews existing literature on shockvertising and moral emotions, then presents a content analysis of social media posts featuring shocking images related to plastic waste. The study identifies seven moral emotions—contempt, anger, disgust, guilt, pride, hubris, and admiration—and discusses how these emotions can be leveraged to engage consumers in sustainability discussions and behavior change. The findings offer valuable insights for managers and institutions seeking to use shockvertising effectively in their sustainability communications.
