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.

This study set out to examine message orientation in advertising expression through the content analysis of apartment sales advertisements in Busan. For this purpose, the study analyzed newspaper ads about apartment sales in the Busan area in terms of advertising appeal methods and message types. Advertising appeal methods(rational and emotional appeal) and message orientation(environmental, emotional, investment, and functional orientation) were categorized according to brands(nationwide and local brands). The findings show that most of apartment sales ads in Busan used a rational appeal method. 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. The findings are expected to offer useful practical implications for message strategies for apartment sales ads.

A new advertising, unlike traditional advertising, has a unique characteristics as a consumer's life styles are changed. This study explores consumer attitude affected by personal value disposition of each advertising creative appeal types. Personal value disposition implies directions of creative and determines advertising effect. So, personal value disposition deserves special consideration of not only print media, but broadcast media and internet media. In the present study, Research has been performed for a diffusion analysis based upon a survey of 338 individuals who were selected randomly. Test advertisement of MP3 Player has been used because involvement of products takes a neutral attitude comparatively. Result from the experiment show that, individualism-rational appeal is the most effective for consumers attitude. Groupism-rational appeals affects consumer's attitude, either. Groupism-emotional appeal has a partial effect and individualism-emotional appeal has no statistical significance. This experiment can be a foundation stone of personal value disposition studies.

The objective of this study is to find out whether policy acceptance(attitude formation and intention of action) is affected by the message appeals(rational vs. emotional) when policy PR messages emphasize prosociality, and by various factors such as trust in government, involvement, and demographic factors as moderating variables. Although message appeals does not show any difference by itself, interaction effect is observed between trust in government and message appeals; the rational appeal is more effective to those with low trust in government while the emotional appeal is more effective to those with high trust. No other interaction effect is founded but involvement, gender, and age group show important main effect in policy acceptance; high-involvement group and female group are more favorable in attitude toward prosocial policy and behavior intention compare to the each of counterparts, whereas older group is more favorable in behavior intention.

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.

The current study explored the relative effects of reciprocal/empathic type on messages appealing to help patients with Lou Gehrig's disease and their family. By this, we attempted to examine the applicable scope of the reciprocal type, a way of appealing rationally in the delivery of helping messages. The focus was on the moderation of empathic concern trait, a representative altruistic personality. Conducted as the online experiment, empathic concern trait was measured in the first stage, and the helping messages presented each by reciprocal/empathic type were shown and evaluated in the second stage after about 7 days. The data of 134 people were finally analyzed, excluding insincere participants. As a result, the relative advantage of empathic type was shown, but it was only limited to the subject attitude. In the result of the interaction, the reciprocal type were as much or more influential as the empathic type for the individuals high in empathic concern trait.

This research investigated that participants' response time and recognition in the decision-making situation would vary according to either rational or emotional stimuli and analyzed how brain functions are related to each type of stimuli by means of fMRI. We tried to address the difference of cognitive processing between rational stimuli and emotional stimuli in the perspective of information processing theory. In order to achieve the research purpose above, we conducted two kinds of experiment studies. In study 1, subjects conducted decision-making task which selected which kind of information type the stimuli was after stimuli - rational stimuli or emotional stimuli - was randomly seen during experiment. During this experiment, we investigated the effect of each stimuli by measuring the duration from the onset time at which stimuli was shown to the response time at which subjects conducted decision-making. Furthermore, we compared the brain functions by finding out what kinds of brain areas were activated during the decision-making task. In study 2, subjects conducted recognition task at which subjects made a decision whether the stimuli was sees in the previous experiment or not. During the second experiment, we investigated the recognition effect by measuring the memory for each stimuli type. Moreover, we compared the cognitive processes during recognition by analyzing the differences of brain area functions. The results of two experiments above were as following. Firstly, regarding the response time as the effect of stimuli, we found that the effect of emotional stimuli was higher than that of rational stimuli. And regarding the recognition as the effect of stimuli, it was found that the effect of rational stimuli was higher than that of emotional stimuli. Secondly, the explanation about the characteristics of cognitive processes with the result of behavioral response by analyzing brain functions was as following. First of all, regarding the decision-making task which conducted for analyzing the effect of response time, the relatively high activated brain areas of rational stimuli were related with the functions of movement control or working memory, and the relatively high activated brain areas of emotional stimuli were connected with the functions of lingual processing.

This paper makes a comparative analysis of themes, appeals, and aims of TV public service advertisements through 927 advertisements from China and South Korea. The study found that there is an obvious difference between China and Korea TV public service advertisements : (1) China TV public service advertisements pay more attention to public morals, while advertisements of South Korea focus on national fusion ; (2) In the way of appeal, different from China's rational demands, South Korea is based on emotional appeals ; (3) The aim of Chinese public service advertisements is for public but South Korea's target is for individuals. Thus, although both China and South Korea are Asian countries, their TV public service advertisements are obvious different. So it is necessary to analyze different situations of the two countries when China and South Korea focus on the same theme of publicity.
