ABSTRACT: The boom of product placement drives researchers to study more on this subject. Yet, because most research about product placement has been done in Western countries and focus on movies, little is known about Chinese audience. Thus, this paper shift the attention on product placement from movies to television programs and from Western to Eastern audience exploration. Four research questions were formed based on previous studies and affective-cognitive model of consumer decision-making. The results showed that in general Chinese audiences hold a favorable attitude toward the practice; Chinese audiences do have conern with regard to placing controversial products in television program; positve behavior following recall of exposure to product placement is also confirmed in this study. Finally, the study also found that there is positive relationship between Chinese audiences' attitude and their subsequent behavior outcome. A number of useful managerial implications are generated from this research. Future research are also discussed. This research helps both researchers and marketers understand Chinese audiences' attitude toward product placement in television and its influence on their behavior outcome. As a result, marketers can better allocated their limited budget to generate better investment results.

The Psychology of Entertainment Media provides a cutting-edge look at how entertainment media affects its viewers, both in intended and unintended ways, and the psychological processes that underlie these effects. The collection represents an international, multidisciplinary investigation of an age-old process--persuasion--in a relatively new guise, which includes product placements, brand films, television programs, and sponsorships. The collection covers three broad areas: the potential effects of embedding promotions within entertainment media content; the persuasive power of the entertainment media content itself; and individual differences in the interplay between media usage and media effects. Contributions focus on a variety of topics, including product placement, subliminal perception, narrative impact, cultivation effects on consumers, and individual differences in media use. Virtually all the chapters speak to the issue of how entertainment media are processed, with the conclusion that media consumers do tend to process entertainment and promotional information differently. Providing a broad perspective on how entertainment media may have an effect that goes largely unnoticed or unattended by consumers, this volume makes a substantial contribution toward creating a more knowledgeable field, as well as a more knowledgeable consumer. With its origins in the 21st Annual Advertising and Consumer Psychology Conference, the volume represents scholarship from prominent and emerging scholars in psychology, marketing, and communications. It is appropriate for advanced students and scholars in marketing, advertising, psychology, and mass communication; for research-focused practitioners working in marketing, advertising, and public policy; and for individuals interested in entertainment studies, consumer behavior, attitudes, persuasion, media studies, and consumer psychology.

The aim of this research is to examine if pre-existing opinions of a brand influence if consumers respond positively or negatively to product placement in movies or tv-show. The main focus of the study is to gain a better understanding of whether already existing affinity towards a brand plays a role in how consumers respond to product placement in order to explore the possibility of personalized product placement as the next step in advertising. *****The aim of this research is to examine if pre-existing opinions of a brand influence if consumers respond positively or negatively to product placement in movies or tv-show.

The third and final essay considers the role of product placement in narrative by proposing that placements can offer benefits to consumers through proper product placement fit. Results indicate that consumers report more favorable brand evaluations when their narrative consumption goals (i.e., goal attainment and enjoyment) are met through exposure to product placement advertising, compared to when their goals are not met through exposure to product placement advertising. Taken together, I argue these essays provide a greater understanding of the product placement effect and validate product placement advertising as a viable promotional method.

An authoritative survey of different contexts, methodologies, and theories of applied communication The field of Applied Communication Research (ACR) has made substantial progress over the past five decades in studying communication problems, and in making contributions to help solve them. Changes in society, human relationships, climate and the environment, and digital media have presented myriad contexts in which to apply communication theory. The Handbook of Applied Communication Research addresses a wide array of contemporary communication issues, their research implications in various contexts, and the challenges and opportunities for using communication to manage problems. This innovative work brings together the diverse perspectives of a team of notable international scholars from across disciplines. The Handbook of Applied Communication Research includes discussion and analysis spread across two comprehensive volumes. Volume one introduces ACR, explores what is possible in the field, and examines theoretical perspectives, organizational communication, risk and crisis communication, and media, data, design, and technology. The second volume focuses on real-world communication topics such as health and education communication, legal, ethical, and policy issues, and volunteerism, social justice, and communication activism. Each chapter addresses a specific issue or concern, and discusses the choices faced by participants in the communication process. This important contribution to communication research: Explores how various communication contexts are best approached Addresses balancing scientific findings with social and cultural issues Discusses how and to what extent media can mitigate the effects of adverse events Features original findings from ongoing research programs and original communication models and frameworks Presents the best available research and insights on where current research and best practices should move in the future A major addition to the body of knowledge in the field, The Handbook of Applied Communication Research is an invaluable work for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars.
