Consumers possess their own psychological distance towards products. Based on the construal-level theory, this study aims to analyze which type of advertising appeal is more effective according to psychological distance. Also this study conducts neurophysiology experiment through eye-tracker. By using eye-tracking methods, participants' responses to products was measured and analyzed accordingly. Results revealed that consumers prefer rational appeals when the psychological distance is perceived near, while emotional appeals are preferred when the psychological distance is perceived far. In addition, eye movements measured in Visit Count(VC), Fixation Count(FC), and Total Fixation Duration(TFD) showed significant difference when participants are viewing preferred and non-preferred appeals.

Despite the substantial changes made in the product design field to adopt light as an essential design element, there has been little effort to define how customers respond emotionally to the light design of products. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the emotional effect of light as a new design element. However, previous research focuses solely on deriving optimal lighting conditions to achieve particular emotional effects. Therefore, this paper investigates the customers' desired emotional effects of product's light design. We studied refrigerators that utilize light as the main design element of the product. We applied mixed methods by combining close-ended questions and open-ended question to efficiently derive the desired emotion. Participants were asked to choose the most favorable refrigerator image in each of the twelve image groups and indicate why they choose that image with the short-answer survey form. Approximately one thousand terms were collected, and those terms were classified into 29 groups using thesaurus relationships. The term groups were again classified into the four big emotion categories and labelled as "abstract quality," "light property," "space perception," and "visual comfort." Also, a model of the relationship between desired light style and light properties was proposed, since we observed the light properties related to three other categories. This study used mixed methods to identify the emotional value of a new design element. We suggest that the emotional categories derived and the proposed relationship model could be used to evaluate the product's light design.

While nationwide brands used rational and emotional appeal in similar percentage, local brands used a lot of rational appeal. Of the types of advertising message orientation, investment and emotional orientation recorded the highest percentage. Messages of investment orientation to show economic profit or premium were used most, being followed by messages of emotional orientation to show pride and happiness. These findings were interpreted to display differences in strategies for advertising expressions among brands.

최근 N스크린 세대의 새로운 소비 주도층인 밀레니얼세대(10대~20대 초반)의 증가로 모바일 YouTube 동영상 시청자가 증가하였다. 이로 인해 광고 노출 가능성이 높아지고 있어 YouTube 인스트림 광고가 광고주들의 높은 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 현재 광고 게재에 따른 정확한 노출 효과에 대한 연구 분석 자료는 현저히 부족하다. 이에 모바일 YouTube 동영상 시청자 수가 가장 높은 10대~20대 초반을 대상으로 국내 YouTube 인스트림 광고 사례 10개를 선정하여 선택적 시청에 따른 시청자들의 행태 파악과 광고 몰입도를 분석해 보았다. 분석 결과 소구 유형별 광고 몰입도는 이성소구보다 감성소구가 컸으며, 그 중 유머소구의 광고 몰입도가 가장 크게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과가 향후 광고 노출 효과를 높이는데 도움이 되기를 기대한다.

This study investigates the interactive effects of guilt appeal level and empathic disposition (personal distress/empathic concern) on responses over the international relief messages. Guilt appeal level refers to the high or low degree of a message eliciting guilty feeling from the recipient. Empathic disposition is defined as personal tendency to assimilate and concern about the experience of others and we used two sub-dimensions, empathic concern and personal distress. The experiment was composed of two steps. At the first step, the participants rated the personal disposition measures and at the second step, they were shown one of the relief messages with different guilt level. Thus, the whole experiment was guilt appeal level ${\times}$ personal traits factorial design on guilty feeling, attitudes and behavioral intention. The results showed that guilt appeal level interacted with the personal distress disposition on the responses. The interaction was induced mainly from the differences of personal distress in the condition of high guilt appeal. High empathic concern individuals showed more favorable attitudes and behavioral intention regardless of the appeal conditions compared to low empathic concern individuals.

Public service advertising is a form of communication activity performed to increase public interest. In order to improve the effectiveness of public service advertising, it is necessary to formulate advertising strategies that can actually induce positive action changes. China has various social problems because of dramatic social changes, which call for implementing public service advertising. This study aims to improve the persuasive effects of Chinese public service advertising by addressing effective communication strategies. In particular, we selected 33 works that use fear appeals from 2016 HuangHe Award-winning posters and analyzed their visual representation of fear appeals. The results suggest that fear appeals are frequently used in safe driving and anti-smoking campaigns. In addition, main colors of these posters were black and white. The main fearful images were often represented in a form of 'fact' and 'factual conception' and in the type of 'picture.' They also have features of implicit association' and 'exaggeration'. This study has a significance in terms of providing theoretical and empirical information to future research on improvement of public service advertising in China.

With the increase of the number of Internet users, various methodologies have been proposed for the effective design of web page. However, the prior methodologies have focused only on the functional aspect of web page while ignoring the emotional aspects of web pages. This paper focuses on the emotional design of home pages and aims to provide a methodology to design a web page suitable for goal emotions. In order to achieve the main purpose, we have conducted three related studies. First, we have identified basic emotional dimensions representing various feeling users have from web pages as a pool of emotional adjectives. Second, we have identified key design elements related to the emotion by observing the design process of expert designers. Third, we examined the causal relation between the perceived emotion and designed elements. The results indicate that some design elements are more effective to produce certain feeling than others. This paper ends with limitations and implications of the study results.
