1 CHAPTER-V CHILDREN S ATTITUDE TOWARDS TV ADS Children s attitude towards ads would not only determine their product purchase behaviour but also other behavioural influences of ads on them. Priya et al. (2010) found that the demand for the advertised products is heavily influenced by the children's attitude towards ads. Further, the cognitive changes among the different age groups lead to the formation of varying attitudes towards ads. Also, there are other potent factors apart from ads, which result in the requests for a product or brand. This chapter has been divided into two sections. Section-I deals with analysis of responses of the children to a list of twenty six statements related to their attitude towards TV ads. Section-I has further been divided into two parts. Part-a deals with Gender-wise analysis and Part-b deals with Age-wise analysis. Section-II describes the Factor analysis of these statements. Section-II has been divided into three parts. Part-a deals with application of Factor analysis to the responses of all respondents. Part-b deals with the Gender-wise Factor analysis; which is further subdivided into two parts: male and female respondents. Part-c describes Age-wise Factor analysis; which is further subdivided into four sub-groups on the basis of age categories of children: 8-10 years old, years old, years old and years old. Section-I: Analysis of Children s Responses to Various Statements In Part I (B) of the questionnaire, children were asked to give their responses to a list of twenty six statements. The statements were formed on the basis of intuition, thorough discussion with experts and a few of the statements were adapted from previous studies (Hite and Eck, 1987; Unnikrishnan and Bajpai, 1996; McNeal and Ji, 1999; Pine and Nash, 2002; Wen-Ling, 2002; Oates et al, 2003; Wimalasiri, 2004; Kapoor and Verma, 2005; Vij, 2007 etc.). These statements are regarding attitude towards TV ads in general and impact of TV ads on children. The children were asked to express their level of agreement/disagreement with respect to various statements based on a five-point Likert scale. The agreement/disagreement attributes were coded as Strongly Agree = 5; Agree = 4; Neither Agree nor Disagree = 3; Disagree = 2 and Strongly Disagree = 1. The list of statements is reproduced below in Table V.I.: 143

By seeing TV ads, I sometimes know more about the products than my parents do. Most TV ads are amusing and entertaining. TV ads interrupt the show and are waste of time. TV ads are not for entertainment, information or social awareness. I ask my parents to buy those products which I find good in TV ads. It s interesting to discuss TV ads with my friends. Many TV ads contain little information and many other unnecessary things. TV ads make misleading claims; do not deliver what they promise. Many TV ads are to make fool of people and to catch them in their trap. Many TV ads are better than TV programmes. I like TV ads but don t buy things because of them. TV ads persuade people to buy those things they do not really need. TV ads are an important source of product information. If I go shopping on my own, while choosing things, I keep TV ads in mind. I use ad jingles, one liner in my conversation. TV ads make you try new products and improve life styles and raise standard of living. I buy the products by their brand names and not on the basis of what TV ads say. I ask my parents to buy those products whose TV ads tell about free gifts, premiumoffers, etc. TV ads tell only the nice things, hiding the bad about their products. TV ads tell which brands have features that I am looking for. 144

3 C22 C23 C24 C25 C26 I buy a product only if the ad convinces me of its benefits. I like to follow the trends of clothes and foot wears shown by TV ads. I try mostly all chips/cookies/candies/chocolates/cokes, etc that they show on TV. I generally want every toy/fashion accessories/gadget/stationery product that comes on TV. TV ads show true picture of society; it portrays people, their ways, the way they actually are. The objective of this section is to examine reactions of children towards different statements on the basis of their gender and age. To achieve this objective, following hypotheses have been formulated and tested: H1: There is no significant difference in the responses of male and female children towards each statement. H2: There is no significant difference in the responses of children belonging to different age-groups towards each statement. To find out the level of agreement/disagreement with different statements on the basis of gender and age of the respondents, weighted average scores have been calculated. In order to compare gender-wise weighted average scores, t-tests have been applied and to compare age-wise weighted average scores, F-ratios have been calculated; for the responses of each statement. Part-a: Gender-wise Analysis of Children s Responses to various Statements Table V.I.a. shows Weighted Average Scores (WAS) of all the respondents and separately of male and female respondents, for each statement. It also shows t-values and its significance for each statement. A higher weighted average score shows greater agreement with the statement than a lower weighted average score. The overall weighted average scores range from as high as 3.74 on the statement, (C1) I learn a lot from watching TV ads, to as low as 2.69 on the statement, (C11) Many TV ads are better than TV programmes. Table V.I.a. indicates that out of twenty-six statements, majority of the children agree to ten statements to quite an extent. The weighted average scores in all these ten 145

4 statements range from 3.74 to These statements are: C1 (I learn a lot from watching TV ads), followed by C2 (By seeing TV ads, I sometimes know more about the products than my parents do); C13 (TV ads persuade people to buy those things they do not really need); C14 (TV ads are an important source of product information); C15 (If I go shopping on my own, while choosing things, I keep TV ads in mind); C16 (I use ad jingles, one liner in my conversation); C20 (TV ads tell only the nice things, hiding the bad about their products); C22 (I buy a product only if the ad convinces me of its benefits); C24 (I try mostly all chips/cookies/ candies/chocolates/cokes, etc that they show on TV) and C25 (I generally want every toy/fashion accessories/stationery product that comes on TV), in that order. These statements are about children being the ardent followers of ads; TV ads being a learning platform, a shopping guide, the product knowledge base of children being wider than their parents due to TV ads and the urge to try the advertised products. However, certain weak points of TV ads are also talked about in these statements, such as ads being highly persuasive, showing only one side of the coin; and that children buy advertised product only if they find that the ad is really convincing. For the remaining sixteen statements the weighted average scores range from 3.42 to These statements are regarding ads being entertaining, interesting to discuss with friends, give information about new products, premium offers, brands, fashion trends, increase standard of living and show real picture of society. There are also statements relating to the negative attitude towards ads; such as ads being interrupting, waste of time, not for information, entertainment or social purpose, giving little or misleading information and liking ads do not mean liking products. The children have shown a low level of agreement; a neutral or a near neutral response to these statements. So the crux is that the children keep a track of ads and advertised products but at the same time they are also aware of the intent of the ads; therefore cannot be carried away easily by TV ads.

The differences in weighted average scores of males and females have been found statistically significant for thirteen out of twenty-six statements. The level of agreement for the following six statements; as revealed by statistically significant t- values, is significantly higher for male than female children: C2 (By seeing TV ads, I sometimes know more about the products than my parents do), C6 (I ask my parents to buy those products which I find good in TV ads), C9 (TV ads make misleading claims; do not deliver what they promise), C17 (TV ads make you try new products and improve life styles and raise standard of living), C19 (I ask my parents to buy those products whose TV ads tell about free gifts, premium-offers, etc) and C25 (I generally want every toy/fashion accessory/gadget/games/stationery product that comes on TV). The level of agreement for the following seven statements; as indicated by statistically significant t-values, has been significantly higher amongst female than male children: 148

7 C8 (Many TV ads contain little information and many other unnecessary things), C11 (Many TV ads are better than TV programmes), C12 (I like TV ads but don t buy things because of them), C13 (TV ads persuade people to buy those things they do not really need), C16 (I use ad jingles, one liner in my conversation), C21 (TV ads tell which brands have features that I am looking for) and C23 (I like to follow the trends of clothes and foot wears shown by TV ads). Male children feel that ads have made them more product literate than their parents, ads lead to a better lifestyle, premium-offers on products are attractive and advertised products like toys, games, fashion or stationary goods, gadgets etc. create a desire to own them. At the same time they understand that advertised products do not always match up to expectations. On the other hand, female children find that ads sometimes are more interesting than TV programmes, make use of ads influenced one liners in their conversation, and learn about brands and fashions in vogue through ads but agree that liking of an ad does not mean liking of the advertised product; they realize that ads do not give relevant information, and also ads instigate people to buy things not needed by them. So, where male children feel that ads improve living standards, motivate them to try new and premium-offer products, female children consider ads as brand and fashion guide and find them interesting to watch. Overall, it is also seen that female children are more apprehensive and sceptical about TV ads. Part-b: Age-wise Analysis of Children s Responses to various Statements The weighted average scores of respondents belonging to four different age-groups; for each statement was computed and subjected to the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Table V.I.b. shows Weighted Average Scores (WAS) for the four different age-groups, F-ratio and its significance, for each statement. The differences in weighted average scores among the four age-groups have been found significant for eighteen out of twenty-six statements. There are eight such statements where extent of agreement is significantly higher among younger children than older children as indicated by statistically significant F- ratios, at 1 per cent level of significance. These are: C2 (By seeing TV ads, I sometimes know more about the products than my parents do), C6 (I ask my parents to buy those products which I find good in TV ads), C9 (TV ads make misleading claims; do not deliver what they promise), C11 (Many TV ads are better than TV 149

8 programmes), C14 (TV ads are an important source of product information), C15 (If I go shopping on my own, while choosing things, I keep TV ads in mind), C17 (TV ads make you try new products and improve life styles and raise standard of living) and C19 (I ask my parents to buy those products whose TV ads tell about free gifts, premium-offers, etc). Further, there are ten such statements where the level of agreement is significantly higher among older children than younger children; as indicated by F-ratios, statistically significant at 1 per cent level. They are C1 (I learn a lot from watching TV ads), C8 (Many TV ads contain little information and many other unnecessary things), C12 (I like TV ads but don t buy things because of them), C13 (TV ads persuade people to buy those things they do not really need), C16 (I use ad jingles, one liner in my conversation), C21 (TV ads tell which brands have features that I am looking for), C22 (I buy a product only if the ad convinces me of its benefits), C23 (I like to follow the trends of clothes and foot wears shown by TV ads), C24 (I try mostly all chips/cookies/candies/chocolates/cokes etc. that they show on TV) and C26 (TV ads shows true picture of society; it portrays people, their ways, the way they actually are). So, as seen from the various levels of agreement, older children have shown higher agreement to more number of negative statements about ads, but at the same time TV ads are their learning pads, brand and trend guide, they are using ads influenced one liners in their conversation, they try the advertised food products and agree that ads are a reflection of the society. In nut shell, ads are not only a product informing source for them but ads touch their life and become part of it in many ways. Whereas, younger children find ads purely as a product guide; informing them about attractive premium-offers, making their product knowledge better than their parents and ads come up as a motivation for people to try new products.

It is interesting to see that there is a lot of similarity between the responses of younger children and male children and the responses of older children and female children. There has been statistically significant and higher level of agreement on statements C2, C6, C9, C17 and C19 among younger children and male children as compared to older children and female children. These statements point out that by seeing TV ads children know more about product choices available than their parents, children ask their parents for products that they find good in ads and those with premium-offers, and ads help in improving living standards; but they are aware of the fact that ads do 152

11 not always deliver promises. Also, there has been statistically significant and higher level of agreement on statements C8, C12, C13, C16, C21 and C23 among older children and female children in comparison to younger children and male children. The statements highlight that TV ads contain little relevant information, children like ads but do not buy goods because of them and ads persuade people to buy things they do not really need. On the other hand, they use ads inspired language during conversation; ads give them idea that which brands have features that they desire; and they follow the fashion trends shown in ads. So, it is observed that female and older children are more apprehensive towards TV ads in comparison to male and younger children. Section-II: Children s Responses to Various Statements: An Application of Factor Analysis From the above discussion, although relevant information regarding attitude of children have emerged, yet in order to understand the dimensionality of beliefs of children towards advertising, Factor Analysis has been employed on twenty-six statements to summarize the data into fewer and more understandable factors. When sub samples (males and females; and four age-groups in the current study) are combined, the resulting correlations may be a poor representation of the unique structures of each group. Thus, whenever differing groups are expected in the sample, separate factor analysis is performed and the results are compared to identify differences not reflected in the combined sample (Hair et al., 1995, p.375). Hence, factor analysis has been carried out firstly upon the overall sample; then separately on the male and the female children and the four age-groups of children. Part-a: Factor Analysis of Children s Response (Overall Sample) In this part, factor analysis has been applied to the responses of all 400 respondents regarding twenty-six statements shown in the Table V.I., measured on a five-point Likert Scale. In order to examine the suitability of the data for factor analysis, following steps were followed. The correlation matrix was computed and examined. This revealed that there were enough correlations to go ahead with factor analysis. Anti-image correlations were computed, which showed that partial correlations were low. This conveyed that there are true factors in the data. Communality and factor loadings were high enough to prove the suitability of the data. Overall Kaiser-Meyer- 153

12 Oklin Measure of Sampling Adequacy was found to be sufficiently high (0.721), which indicated that the sample was good enough for sampling. Bartlett s Sphericity Test showed statistically significant number of correlations among the variables. Hence, all the above mentioned parameters revealed that data was fit for factor analysis. Principal Component Analysis was employed for extracting factors. The Eigen values greater than unity were taken for the final selection of factors. In case of total group of children, seven factors were identified. These factors explained per cent of the variance. Varimax rotation matrix was done through Principal Component Analysis. All factor loadings greater than 0.45 have been considered for further analysis. The results of Principal Component Analysis with Varimax rotation for overall sample of children are shown in Table V.II.a.i.

14 (KMO MSA=0.721; Bartlett=102.47) Table V.II.a.i. shows that seven factors have been extracted. The last column in Table V.II.a.i. shows communalities. Communality is the amount of variance, an original variable shares with all other variables included in the analysis. The communalities were quite high and the highest communality coefficient is for statement C5, while the lowest communality coefficient is for statement C2. Communalities magnitude indicates that a large amount of variance in a variable has been accounted for by the factor solution. Eigen values were worked at 6.421, , 9.454, 7.985, 5.821, and for factor 1 to 7 respectively as revealed by the antepenultimate row of the Table. The percentage of variance explained by the respective factors was , , 9.454, 7.985, 5.821, and 2.184, totalling per cent of variance, as shown in the penultimate row of the Table. The percentage of variance is used as an index to determine how well the total factor solution accounts for what the variables together represent. The present solution accounts for per cent of the total variance. This indicates that 7 factor model is quite satisfactory. Naming of the Factors (Overall Sample) The final factors have been categorized on the basis of variables represented in each case. The names of factors, statements in the factor and the factor loading have been shown in Table V.II.a.ii. 156

17 The most important factor of children s attitude towards TV ads has been identified as ads being a guide for shopping and product knowledge. This factor explains per cent variance with six statements. Highest coefficient is for the statement C15, If I go shopping on my own, while choosing things, I keep TV ads in mind (0.699), followed by C21 TV ads tell which brands have features that I am looking for (0.624). Other statements highlight that children pick fashion trends from ads, like to try advertised snack items, develop interest in other advertised goods and premium-offers. Factor 2: Educative and Entertaining Ads This factor explains per cent of variance with five statements. The statement C1 secured the highest score, I learn a lot from watching TV ads (0.669), followed by C11, Many TV ads are better than TV programmes (0.568). Overall the second Factor deals with the thought that ads are a good source of knowledge and amusement for children. Factor 3: A Futile Exercise This factor explained 9.45 per cent of the variance with three statements. These statements indicate that TV ads do not serve any purpose. The highest coefficient is secured by the statement C4, TV ads interrupt the show and are waste of time (0.759), followed by C8, Many TV ads contain little information and many other unnecessary things (0.565) and C5, TV ads are not for entertainment, information or social awareness (.480). Factor 4: Integral to Lifestyle This factor explains 7.99 per cent of the variance with three statements. This factor features the impact of TV ads on the lifestyle of children. The most important statement in this factor is C16, I use ad jingles, one liner in my conversation (0.555), followed by C26, TV ads show true picture of society. It portrays people, their ways and the way they actually are (0.543) and C17, TV ads make you try new products and improve life styles and raise standard of living (0.516). 159

18 Factor 5: A Quay to Superior Product Knowledge The fifth factor explains 5.82 per cent of variance with two statements. The statement C6, I ask my parents to buy those products which I find good in TV ads secured the higher magnitude of coefficient (0.716), closely followed by C2, By seeing TV ads, I sometimes know more about the products than my parents do (0.703). Factor 6: Unscrupulous Ads The sixth factor explains 3.26 per cent of the variance with four statements. The highest coefficient is in case of the statement C13, TV ads persuade people to buy those things they do not really need, followed by C10, Many TV ads are to make fool of people and to catch them in their trap (0.556). The other statements relate to the scepticism towards ads in general. Factor 7: Judicious Buyers This factor explains 2.18 per cent of the variance with three statements. This factor highlights that children see ads, may even like them but buy products only if they are convinced by brand name or product benefits. The statement C18, I buy the products by their brand names and not on the basis of what TV ads say scores the highest coefficient (0.618), followed by C22, I buy a product only if the ad convinces me of its benefits (5.37) and C12, I like TV ads but don t buy things because of them (0.512). In all, seven factors have emerged in an attempt to access the attitude of children towards TV ads and its influence on them. The total variance explained has been per cent. There are only two factors that indicate negative attitude towards A Futile Exercise and Unscrupulous Ads ; together explaining per cent of the variance. Judicious Buyers, which shows neutral approach, explains 2.18 per cent of variance. The four factors: TV Ads as a Shopping Guide, Educative and Entertaining Ads, Integral to Lifestyle and A Quay to Superior Product Knowledge ; together explain per cent of the variance depict positive attitude of children towards TV ads. So, children have an overall positive approach towards TV ads. Part-b: Gender-wise Factor Analysis of Children s Response Part-b.i: Factor Analysis of Male Children s Response The perceptions of male children are analyzed in this part. The responses of 206 respondents to twenty-six statements as shown in Table V.I, are measured on a fivepoint Likert Scale and have been subjected to factor analysis. 160

19 A study of correlation matrix and anti-image correlations showed that data was amenable to factor analysis. Overall Kaiser-Meyer-Oklin Measure of Sampling Adequacy (0.734) was sufficiently high and Bartlett s Sphericity Test was also statistically significant. Thus, all of these examinations revealed that the data was fit for factor analysis. Total six factors are identified through extraction method employing Principal Component method. The results of Principal Component Analysis with Varimax rotation for the sample of male children are shown in Table V.II.b.i.1. All factors having Eigen values greater than unity have been selected. Eigen values for factors 1 to 6 are 5.428, 4.932, 3.810, 2.590, and respectively as revealed by the ante-penultimate row of Table V.II.b.i.1. These six factors explained variance of the order of , , , 8.772, and per cent, as shown in the penultimate row of Table V.II.b.i.1. The cut-off point for significant factor loadings was taken to be The communalities were quite high and the highest communality coefficient is for statement C17 while the lowest communality coefficient is for statement C19. Communalities magnitude indicates that a large amount of variance in a variable has been accounted for by the factor solution. Thus the six factor model explaining per cent of variance is quite powerful.

This factor denotes that ads are a reflection of society. Part-b.ii: Factor Analysis of Female Children s Response The responses of 194 female children to twenty-six statements were factor analyzed, so that they can be compared with the results of male children. A study of correlation matrix and anti-image correlations showed that data was fit for factor analysis. Overall Kaiser-Meyer-Oklin Measure of Sampling Adequacy (0.641) was sufficiently high and Bartlett s Sphericity Test was also statistically significant, indicating the suitability of data for factor analysis. Principal Component Analysis was employed for extracting factors. The Eigen values greater than unity were taken for the final selection of factors. In case of female children, six factors were identified. These factors explained per cent of the variance. Varimax rotation matrix was done through Principal Component Analysis. All factor loadings greater than 0.45 have been considered for further analysis. The results of Principal Component Analysis with Varimax rotation for female children are shown in Table V.II.b.ii.1. Table V.II.b.ii.1: Principal Component Analysis with Varimax Rotation (Female Children) Statement Labels Factor Loadings Communality C C C C C C

25 C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C Eigen Value % of Variance Cumulative Variance (KMO MSA=0.641; Bartlett= ) 167

26 Table V.II.b.ii.1 shows that six factors have been extracted. The communalities were quite high and the highest communality coefficient is for the statement C5, while the statements C2 score the lowest communality with coefficient Communalities magnitude indicates that a large amount of variance in a variable has been accounted for by the factor solution. Eigen values were worked at 4.833, 3.571, 3.132, 2.839, and for factor 1 to 6 respectively as revealed by the antepenultimate row of Table V.II.b.ii.1. The percentage of variance explained by the respective factors was , , , 9.241, and totalling per cent of variance, as shown in the penultimate row of Table V.II.b.ii.1. The percentage of variance is used as an index to determine how well the total factor solution accounts for what the variables together represent. This indicates that 6 factor model that explains per cent of the total variance is quite satisfactory. Naming of the Factors for Female Children The factors were given different names depending upon the nature of statements included in the factor. This categorization is shown in Table V.II.b.ii.2. Table V.II.b.ii.2: Naming of Factors (Female Children) Factor Name of Label Statement (Factor Loadings) number Dimension (% of Variance) Factor 1 Educative and Entertaining Ads (16.23%) C1 I learn a lot from watching TV ads.
