  • A cross-cultural perspective on televised political advertising during the presidential election between the US and South Korea: 1992–2012

    • Authors: Soobum Lee; Hyoungkoo Khang; Yeojin Kim (2016)

  • Our study was motivated by the fact that, despite the increasing pervasiveness of political advertising in the political process of many democracies, little empirical research has been conducted to unveil common patterns or crucial differences of political spots across cultural boundaries.

Taken together, our findings revealed statistically significant two-way interaction effects of regulatory focus and message frames on all dependent measures, including attitude toward ads, message preference and voting intention; however, neither regulatory focus nor message frames exhibited primary effects on those dependent variables. Further, issue involvement was found to have a statistic...
