The main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of three factors:“attitude towards the advertisement” (AttAd), ”attitude towards the brand” (AttB), and “buying action” (BA) when potential consumers were presented with different types of advertising appeals(emotional/rational) and different types of product attributes (expressive performance/instrumental performance). Self-monitoring by consumers (high /low) was a confounding variable. This study used a 2 x 2 factorial experimental design. Questionnaire surveys including various ads for health products were distributed and 237 valid responses were received. The data was analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA).The results are as follows: 1. The effects of AttB with different type of advertising appeals were different. The effectiveness of rational appeal was significantly better than emotional appeal, but there were no significant differences in the effect of AttAd or BA with different types of advertising appeals. 2. The effects of AttAd and BA with different types of product attributes were different. The effectiveness of expressive performance was significantly better than instrumental performance, but there was no difference in the effect of AttB with different types of product attributes. 3. The effects of AttAd, Attb, and BA with different mixes of advertising appeals and product attributes were different. The interaction effects between types of advertising appeals and product attributes for AttAd, AttB, and BA were also different. Rational appeal matched with expressive performance attributes and emotional appeal matched with instrumental performance attributes produced the best advertising effects. 4. The effects of AttAd, Attb, and BA with different types of advertising appeals confounded by selfmonitoring by consumers were different. For high self-monitoring consumers, emotional advertising appeals produced the best advertising effects. For low self-monitoring consumers, rational advertising appeals produced the best advertising effects. 5. The effects of AttAd, Attb, and BA with different types of product attributes confounded by selfmonitoring by consumers were different. For high self-monitoring consumers, expressive performance attributes produced the best advertising effects. For low self-monitoring consumers, instrumental performance attributes produced the best advertising effects. 6. Self-monitoring by consumers made no significant difference on the effect of AttAd, Attb, or BA with different mixes of advertising appeals and product attributes. |
