The results showed that young adults have likeable attitude towards both fear and guilt appeals and it showed both significant relationship towards consumer buying behaviour; whereas dislikeable attitude is shown towards sex appeal and it show non-significant relationship towards consumer buying behaviour. Multiple regressions analysis is used to examine the influence of each appeal and the most influential appeal towards consumer buying behaviour.
