競選廣告之效果探討：以議題所有權策略為例

The Effects of Political Advertising: The Role of Issue Ownership

本研究從議題所有權理論出發，以2008年總統大選選戰作為情境進行來探討競選廣告採取不同策略（強調候選人政黨之「所屬議題」或「非所屬議題」），其說服效果的差異。文獻回顧梳出四個議題策略效果的可能假說，分別為「所有權優勢假說」、「新領域優勢假說」、「政黨偏頗假說」與「議題攸關性優勢假說」，實驗一驗證這四個假說。實驗二進一步探討「議題所有權」效果是否會受到廣告比較手法（「吾優於彼」VS.「彼劣於吾」）的影響。

Drawing upon issue ownership theory, this paper explores the relative effectiveness of political ads featuring issues owned by the party of the candidate and ads featuring issues owned by the opposing party in the 2008 presidential campaign in Taiwan. Experiment one tests four competing hypotheses. The results show supports for the superior effects of ads featuring owned issues among non-partisans. Experiment two examines whether the two comparative appeals, l-am-better-than-the-competitor or the-competitor-is-worse-than-me, moderate the effectiveness of ads featuring issues owned by the party. The results demonstrate that, when ads feature owned issues, the two appeals do not generate different effects; whereas when ads feature issues owned by the opposing party, l-am-better-than the competitor appeal is more effective.
