Consumer Attitude Towards Instagram Advertising: Mediating Role of Advertising Value Pravin Chandra Singh, Vishal Kumar Singh, Princy Singh, Vinay Seth, Vishnu Gupta, Pankaj Kumar, Sujay Vikram Singh Integrating Social Media Tools into Hotel Operations and Marketing, 2026 The objective of this paper is to develop a comprehensive model to explore the impact of the identified antecedents of a consumer's attitude towards Instagram advertising. The study adopted an explorative-cum-descriptive design and sample size is 412. The model was tested with exploratory, and confirmatory factor analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) The study results indicate that there is a strong positive relationship between credibility, informativeness, entertainment, personalization, and attitude toward the Instagram advertising. In contrast, a significant negative association has been established between irritation and attitude toward Instagram advertisements. Looking at the interrelationship, advertising value does mediate the relationship between the predictor variable attitude towards Instagram advertising except irritation. Furthermore, the present study also supports that the hierarchy of effect (HOE) does exist, and there is a strong positive relationship between attitude towards Instagram advertising and purchase intention.
