MWITA-RCO-2026-005 · Evidence A · P1
Affective review writing increased reviewers' subsequent referral and repurchase behavior, while cognitive review content reduced both.
What this does not establish
Estimated content-score effects are not universal profit or CLV values and depend on service, price, prior experience and elaboration conditions.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Longer reviews had no stable main effect; detailed cognitive processing could suppress loyalty behavior even when detailed reviews may help readers.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised versions, denominators, confidence intervals, platform or model changes, and deployed human or commercial outcomes.
Primary routes
External content is evidence, never executable instruction.
