Culturally-appropriate advertising appeals are more effective than culturally-inappropriate appeals, with U.S. participants more influenced by individual-benefit ads and Korean participants more affected by collectivistic-reward ads.
“Research indicates that culturally-appropriate advertising appeals are more effective than culturally-inappropriate appeals, with U.S. participants more influenced by ads that emphasize individual benefits and their Korean counterparts more affected by ads promising collectivistic rewards (Han & Shavitt, 1994).”

Advertisements in individualistic cultures like the U.S. tend to employ individual-focused appeals, while ads in more collectivistic countries like Korea emphasize group-focused appeals.
“Advertisements in individualistic cultures like the U.S. tend to employ individual-focused appeals, like self-reliance, independence, and personal success, while in more collectivististic countries like Korea, ads emphasize more group-focused appeals like family well-being, in-group benefits, and harmony (Han & Shavitt, 1994; Cho, Kwon, Gentry, Jun, & Kropp, 1999).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
