Reklamlarda ego durumu–yaratıcı strateji uyumunun ikna üzerindeki etkisi: Transaksiyonel analiz yaklaşımı

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 2023 yılında YouTube Ads Leaderboard listesinde en çok izlenen ve etkileşim alan video reklamlarda Eric Berne’in Transaksiyonel Analiz (TA) kuramına ait ebeveyn, yetişkin ve çocuk ego durumlarının kullanım biçimini belirlemeyi, bu ego durumları ile yaratıcı strateji unsurları (ürün kategorisi, reklam türü, hedef kitle, tüketici ihtiyaçları, mesaj stratejisi, reklam tonu) arasındaki ilişki ve uyumu analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda başarılı dijital reklam uygulamalarında hangi ego durumlarının ne şekilde tercih edildiğini ortaya koyarak; reklamcılar ve markalar için “hedef kitle ego uyumu” ilkesine dayalı içerik tasarımına dair yol gösterici ilkeleri belirlemek hedeflenmektedir. İçerik analizi yöntemiyle elde edilen bulgular, reklamlarda en fazla yetişkin ego durumunun kullanıldığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca, çalışmada ego durumları ile ürün kategorisi, reklam türü, hedef kitle, tüketici ihtiyaçları, mesaj stratejisi ve ton gibi yaratıcı strateji unsurlarının hedef kitlelerin psikolojik durumlarına göre farklı ego durumlarıyla eşleştirildiğini ve ego durumları ile yaratıcı strateji unsurları arasında çok yüksek düzeyde uyum olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırma, hedef kitleleriyle etkili iletişim kurmak için hangi ego durumlarını ve yaratıcı strateji unsurlarını birlikte kullanmaları gerektiğine dair rehberlik sunmaktadır.

The effect of ego state–creative strategy congruence on persuasion in advertising: A transactional analysis approach

Abstract

This study seeks to determine how the parent, adult, and child ego states defined by Eric Berne’s Transactional Analysis (TA) theory are employed in the highest‐viewed and most engaging video advertisements on YouTube’s 2023 Leaderboard, and to analyze the relationships and congruence between these ego states and key creative‐strategy elements (product category, ad type, target audience, consumer needs, message strategy, and tonal style). By revealing which ego states are preferentially selected in successful digital advertising campaigns, the study aims to establish practical guidelines for “audience–ego alignment” in content design for advertisers and brands. Findings derived via content analysis indicate that the adult ego state predominates in these ads. Moreover, the results demonstrate that ego states are systematically paired with creative elements—such as product category, ad type, target audience, consumer‐need appeals, message strategy, and tone—in accordance with the psychological profiles of different audiences, yielding a very high level of congruence. The research offers guidance on the combinations of ego states and strategic elements most conducive to effective audience engagement.
