Classical and Vignette Television Advertising Dramas: Structural Models, Formal Analysis, and Consumer Effects

Stern, Barbara B.·1994·Journal of Consumer Research

Abstract

This article identifies and analyzes two types of television advertising dramas: classical and vignette. Drama criticism in theater, film, and television is the source used to identify the elements of advertising dramas—narration, plot, story, and character—and to propose models of the two different types. The two models are employed in an empirical analysis of an advertising sample. Consumer effects of classical and vignette dramas are proposed in terms of the attribution theory of persuasion and the elicitation of empathy versus sympathy responses.

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.
