| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to determine general attitude towards advertising from the perspective of
marketing and non-marketing students. Beliefs towards advertising are investigated so as to determine what
contributes to attitude and subsequently behavioral intention towards advertising. A quantitative approach by
means of questionnaire based survey was administered at a private university. 217 usable copies, whereby
101 are marketing students and 116 are non-marketing students, were collected. Descriptive and inferential
analyses were subsequently used. Findings show that there is no significant difference in beliefs, attitude and
intention towards advertising among marketing and non-marketing students despite dissimilar educational
background. This study therefore articulates the present view of university students about advertising, and its
implication to academia and business. |
