Abstract

Bir iletişim aracı olan reklamın doğru ve güvenilir olması, toplumun kültürel ve ahlaki yapısına uygun olması ve etik ilkeleri içermesi günümüz işletmeleri için oldukça önemlidir. Tüketicilerinin etik değerlere daha çok önem verir hale gelmesi, işletmeleri bu konuda daha duyarlı hale getirmiştir. Reklam etiği literatürü incelendiğinde; cinsel öğelerin kullanımı, aldatıcı reklam, reklamlarda çocukların kullanılması ve ayrımcılık konuları ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, reklamlarda cinsel öğelerin kullanımı konusu ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, cinsellik açısından etik dışı bulunan reklamlara yönelik, bireysel ahlak felselerinin etik değerlendirme ve etik değerlendirmenin satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkilerinin bir model aracılığı ile belirlenmesidir. Bu amacın yanı sıra, bu araştırmada, TV reklamlarında kadının, erkeğin ve her ikisinin cinsel obje olarak kullanıldığı reklamlara yönelik etiksel değerlendirmelerin farklılık gösterip göstermediğinin belirlenmesi hedeflenmektedir. Çalışma iki aşamadan oluşmaktadır. Birinci aşamada, uygulamada kullanılacak üç reklamın seçimi için reklamcılık konusundaki uzmanlarla bir ön araştırma yapılmıştır. İkinci aşamada ise seçilen reklamlar kolayda örnekleme yoluyla belirlenen tüketicilere izlettirilerek, her bir reklama yönelik etik değerlendirmeleri, kişisel ahlak felsefeleri ve satın alma niyetleri ölçülmüştür. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, her üç reklamın katılımcılara göre etik dışı kabul edildiği tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra, idealizmin etik değerlendirmeyi negatif, rölativizmin ise pozitif etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, erkeğin cinsel öğe olarak kullanıldığı reklam, kadın ve erkeklere göre etiksel açıdan farklılık göstermektedir.

MORAL PHILOSOPHY, ETHICAL JUDGMENT, AND PURCHASE INTENTION: PERCEPTIONS OF SEX APPEALS IN TELEVISION ADVERTISING

Year 2016, Volume: 3 Issue: 4, 346 - 355, 30.12.2016

Abstract





Advertising
must be accurate, reliable, honest, and in line with the cultural and ethical
norms of the society. Since consumers become more sensitive to ethical
principles, organizations are urged to be more attentive to ethical issues in
advertising. Sex appeals, deceptive advertising, advertising to children and
discrimination in advertising are the major issues in the advertising ethics
literature. This study examines the ethical perceptions about using sex appeals
in advertising. Particularly, the study aims to determine whether using male
and female bodies as sexual objects in advertisements is perceived to be
ethical or not. Further, the study probes the effect of consumers’ ethical
philosophies (i.e. idealism, relativism) on their ethical judgments about the
ads. A field study is conducted to test a number of hypotheses to resolve the
research question. In the first phase of the field research, advertising
experts are asked to evaluate 12 selected ads in terms of their ethical
content. Based on their evaluations, 3 ethically questionable ads (one
comprised of male body as a sexual object, one comprised of female body as a
sexual object, and one comprised of both male and female bodies as sexual
objects) are chosen to be used in the next stage. In the second stage, the
ethically questionable ads are viewed by a convenient sample of consumers and
their ethical judgments about the ads, ethical moral philosophies and
intentions to purchase the advertised products are measured. Data analyses
revealed that, respondents perceived ethical concerns in all of the ads used in
the study. Further, idealism is found to exert a significantly negative effect
on ethical judgments, while relativism exerted a significantly positive effect.
Yet, ethical perceptions about the ad where male body is used as a sexual
object, found to be varying based on respondents’ gender.
