Abstract

Pazarlama iletişiminin bir parçası olan reklam iletişimi,
hedef kitleye, ürün/marka hakkında bilgi verme, ürüne/markaya değer katma,
çağrışım yapma ve ikna etme fonksiyonlarını yerine getirmekte önemli bir yere
sahiptir. Yapılan araştırmalar reklam tutumunun marka tutumunu etkilediğini ve
reklam tutumunun satın alma davranışında ise kısmen belirleyici olduğunu
göstermektedir. Reklam ve marka tutumu oluşumunda reklamı beğenme ya da itici
bulma duygusal ve bilişsel tutum unsurlarını şekillendirmektedir. Reklama maruz
kalan hedef kitle beğendiği reklamlardan etkilenmekte, ürün ya da marka
hakkında bilgi edinmek istemekte, o reklam ve marka hafızasında yer etmekte ve
belki satın alıp deneme davranışında bulunmaktadır. Reklamın beğenilmesinde
bireyden kaynaklanan kişisel faktörler bir tarafa, bireyin içinde bulunduğu
kültürel kalıplar, ait olduğu ülke faktörü özellikle küresel reklamlarda
verilmek istenen mesajın algılanması ve yorumlamasında önem kazanmaktadır.

Yapılan çalışmada cinsel çekicilik içeren reklamlar ve
reklamda yer alan marka tutumuna kültürel farklılıkların etkisini ortaya koymak
amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada reklamlarda hiç, orta ve yüksek düzeyde cinsel
çekicilik kullanımı ve katılımcıların ülkesi bağımsız değişken, reklama karşı
tutum (Aad) ve markaya karşı tutum (Ab) bağımlı değişken ve Hofstede’in
kültürel boyutları ara (ortalayıcı) değişken olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada
öncüller arasında en büyük etkinin cinsellik seviyesi olduğu ve ülke faktörünün
ikinci sırada geldiği görülmüştür. 
Çalışmanın uluslararası pazarda yer edinmek isteyen küresel markalar
için kaynak teşkil edeceği, ayrıca 
akademik çalışmalar için katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
