The purpose of this study was to classify groups by the degree of preference toward clothing advertisements using foreign models and to examine those variables(e. g., life-style and demographic variables) that can effectively discriminate the preference from the non-preference group.
As to the theoretical background for the study, the theories of advertisement attitude and advertisement strategy, and life-style were examined.
The 155 questionnaires were distributed to the consumers from 17 to 28 age in Taegu.
Data were analyzed by factor analysis, stepwise canonical discriminant analysis and x^2 tests.
1. By using the median split of preference, the sample was classified into 3 groups ; preference group(37.4%), middle group(23.2%), non-preference group(39.4%).
2. By factor analysis of life-style, five factors were extracted ; fashionable type, economical type, individualistic type, conservatively passive type, western style type.
3. The result of a discriminant analysis showed that fashion leading type had the highest discriminant power, western culture - oriented type the second.
4. The results of x^2 - tests indicated that single consumers were more likely to prefer the clothing advertisement using foreign models than married consumers. Consumers who are fashion-oriented or have western style were more likely to prefer the advertisement using foreign models while consumers who are married or have passive life-style were less likely to prefer that.
The results showed that the preference group had the life-style to lead the fashion and preferred western culture to others, but the non-preference group usually married women had conservatively passive life-style.
