We explored the effect of racing advergames on player perception of brand personality and investigated the roles of flow and self-construal in this effect. Participants were 202 male students at colleges in the United States and Taiwan, and they completed pretest and posttest scales relating to their feeling and attitude toward brands before and after playing the racing advergame. The results showed that, when playing advergames, flow and self-construal interacted to influence perception of brand personality. Gamers experiencing high flow during the game provided positive feedback on brand personality, whereas gamers experiencing low flow provided negative feedback. Gamers with an interdependent self-construal reported higher scores for evaluation of brand personality after playing advergames than did gamers with an independent self-construal.
