COMMUNICATING WITH THE SEXES: Male and Female Responses to Print Advertisements
Abstract
This research studies how men and women respond to different types of print advertisements. The results show that women have superior affect (Aad and Ab) and purchase intent toward advertisements that are verbal, harmonious, complex, and category-oriented, whereas men have superior affect (Aad and Ab) and purchase intent toward advertisements that are comparative, simple, and attribute-oriented. In two studies, and across a variety of advertisements, men and women listed an equivalent number of total thoughts. In all instances, however, women listed more category-oriented thoughts and men listed more attribute-oriented thoughts. This pattern of results suggests that women use a relational processing style, whereas men use an item-specific processing style.

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.
