Abstract [eng] This research investigates whether visual and auditory elements in digital brand interfaces shape emotional brand attachment among Generation Z. A 2×2 survey experiment with 123 participants shows that both sensory cues significantly enhance affective and cognitive responses, which subsequently increase emotional brand attachment. However, Gen Z traits moderate these pathways in a weakening, rather than strengthening direction, suggesting reduced sensitivity among highly digital-native consumers. The findings clarify the affective–cognitive mechanism of digital sensory design and offer insights for brands and UX designers developing Gen-Z-oriented digital experiences.
