The Back Alleys Of Our Brain: The Subconscious Traces of Advertising

Yıl 2025, Sayı: 14, 68 - 77

Öz

In today’s consumption-oriented society, advertising has become an important tool that shapes individuals’ decision-making processes, belief systems and behaviors. Advertisements influence and direct the intellectual frameworks of individuals not only at the conscious level but also at the unconscious level. This study aims to examine the effects of advertising on the subconscious in depth. In the literature, it is emphasized that more research is needed to examine the effects of subliminal advertising with reliable measurement tools, its perception in cultural contexts and its effectiveness on digital platforms. Moreover, ethical dimensions and clarifying the boundaries of subliminal advertising in relation to consumer manipulation constitute an important gap. There is a need for more in-depth studies on the effects of neuromarketing methods on the brain, the impact of demographic factors on advertising responses and the long-term effects of subliminal advertising. The effects of advertising on individuals’ psychological well-being constitute another important dimension of this study, and the negative effects of unrealistic beauty standards and materialistic values on mental health are discussed. The study aims to understand the effects of advertising strategies at the subliminal level and to develop strategies to mitigate potential negative effects. This research builds on the existing literature in the field of subliminal advertising.

Beynimizin Arka Sokakları: Reklamın Bilinçaltındaki İzleri

Yıl 2025, Sayı: 14, 68 - 77

Öz

Günümüz tüketim odaklı toplumunda reklamcılık, bireylerin karar alma süreçlerini, inanç sistemlerini ve davranışlarını şekillendiren önemli bir araç haline gelmiştir. Reklamlar, yalnızca bilinçli düzeyde değil, aynı zamanda bilinçdışı düzeyde de bireylerin düşünsel çerçevelerini etkileyerek onları yönlendirmektedir. Bu çalışma, reklamcılığın bilinçaltı üzerindeki etkilerini derinlemesine incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Literatürde, bilinçaltı reklamcılığın etkilerinin güvenilir ölçüm araçlarıyla incelenmesi, kültürel bağlamlardaki algılanışı ve dijital platformlardaki etkinliği üzerine daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır. Ayrıca, etik boyutlar ve bilinçaltı reklamların tüketici manipülasyonu ile ilişkili sınırlarının netleştirilmesi önemli bir boşluk oluşturmaktadır. Nöropazarlama yöntemleriyle beyindeki etkilerin daha derinlemesine incelenmesi, demografik faktörlerin reklam tepkilerine etkisi ve bilinçaltı reklamların uzun vadeli etkileri üzerine çalışmaların artırılması gerekmektedir. Reklamcılığın bireylerin psikolojik iyi oluşu üzerindeki etkileri de bu çalışmanın bir diğer önemli boyutunu oluşturmakta olup, gerçekçi olmayan güzellik standartları ve materyalist değerlerin ruh sağlığı üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri ele alınmaktadır. Çalışma, reklam stratejilerinin bilinçaltı düzeydeki etkilerini anlamayı ve potansiyel olumsuz etkilerin azaltılmasına yönelik stratejiler geliştirmeyi hedeflemektedir. Bu araştırma, bilinçaltı reklamcılık alanındaki mevcut literatürü tamamlayarak önemli katkılar sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.
