Scholars regard the persuasive effects of modern TV commercial as a low-involvement learning effect. The degree of message involvement determines whether the effects of advertising are significant. This study conducts a 2×2 mixed design through control of two independent variables, the music type of TV commercial (background and theme music) and the degree of advertising involvement (low and high involvement), to examine their impact on the dependent variable, the advertising effect. The experiment of this study is divided into four conditions, where a total of 160 effective questionnaires were collected, with 92 and 68 questionnaires retrieved from females and males respectively. Then, this study tested the corresponding variables using a mixed design two-way ANOVA. Based on the experimental results, this study established a path model regarding the impacts of music type and degree of advertising involvement on advertising effects, and concluded with four significant results: (1) The degree of the advertising involvement of consumers influences advertising effects, and the effect on consumers with low levels of involvement is more evident than that of those with high levels of involvement; (2) the music type presented in TV commercial affects the influence of advertising, and the effect of theme music is more significant than that of background music; (3) the theme music in TV commercials improves attitudes toward advertising and brands, and increases the consumer willingness to purchase with low levels of involvement; and (4) the background music of TV commercial improves attitudes toward advertising and brands of consumers with high levels of involvement. |
