Extant StudyTube-related academia focuses on the movement’s pedagogical and social functions, overlooking the StudyTuber-influencer’s persuasive power and marketing potential. Drawing on concepts and literature underpinning self-disclosure and interactivity, this study conducted a 2 x 2 between-subjects online experiment to investigate the effects of StudyTubers’ self-disclosure valence and interactivity levels, on audience’s product attitude and purchase intentions towards advertised education products. We found the interaction between StudyTubers’ self-disclosure valence and interactivity to have a significant effect on both product attitudes and purchase intentions. StudyTubers’ lack of interactivity with followers (vs. with interactivity) led to increased purchase intentions, and negative self-disclosures led to more favourable product attitudes and higher purchase intentions; however, these effects were not significant when StudyTubers engaged in positive self-disclosure.

Our findings also offer practical implications to StudyTubers and marketers. Bachelor's degree 2024-04-01T04:54:14Z 2024-04-01T04:54:14Z 2024 Final Year Project (FYP) Teo, C. Q. E., Thung, P.
