An Application of Helson's Adaptation-Level Theory to the Problem of Context in Television Advertising

Abstract

dc:description

Based upon Helson's theory, the contextual stimuli and residual stimuli as defined above, served as independent variables in this study. The judgments of the focal stimulus, the brand, served as the dependent variable. Focal judgments were measured according to the change in attitude toward the brand that resulted from exposure to the contextual stimuli.
