| description | The purpose of this study is to investigate how adolescents view advertising. Specifically, the study
utilizes the seven-belief factors model and the List of Values (LOVs) to look into the effects of beliefs
about advertising and personal values on attitude towards advertising. Given the fact that little is known
about adolescents’ views on the subject matter, and how the two antecedent variables affect their attitude
in emerging markets, the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) was adapted to determine the attitude of
Neoteric-inheritors (age ranged from 15 to 21 years old in the year of 2013) towards advertising. Selfadministered
questionnaires were distributed in Sarawak, and 384 usable copies were subsequently
collected and keyed in for analysis. The findings show that product information, social role/image, being
good for the economy, not being materialistic and truthfulness have positive effect on attitude towards
advertising. However, only internal value is found to be significant predictor of attitude towards
advertising, albeit weak. The study thus provides insights into beliefs and attitude of adolescents towards
advertising, and how the shaping of personal values may affect such attitude. Managerial implications of
study are provided. |
