* Must be used at least once
Ads must be taken from prin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">int media. Ads found on the Internet or other non-prin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">int media sources will not be accepted
1. Fin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ind 4 prin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">int Ads that you thin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ink are particularly effective in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in demonstratin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing some of the psychological concepts we have discussed this semester, from any of the CHs.
2. Attach each Ad to a separate piece of paper and clearly number each Ad (1,2,3,4).
3. For each of the 4 Ads:
Identify 3 Social Psych or other psychological concepts, prin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inciples, and/or theories that are demonstrated in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the Ad.
You may want to poin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">int out that somethin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing (some psychological application) was attempted but was not successful.
A. Explain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in how each of the 3 psychological concepts is used (applied) in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in each Ad.
B. Identify the target audience (market) for the Ad.
C. Provide a very brief (two-three sentence) critical opin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inion statin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing why you thin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ink the Ad is successful or unsuccessful.
You are free to poin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">int out that an Ad may have been in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">intended to apply somethin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing, but is not successful.
Anythin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing that you would like to add? Be sure to in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">indicate that this is an extra credit add-on section for the Ad you are analyzin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing.
A recommended tactic for extra would be to apply an additional psychological concept in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in your Ad analysis.
In selectin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing Prin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">int Ads: I recommend that you select Ads that are “out there.” Out there Ads are more fun and it is usually easier to identify applied psychology in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in them.
Borin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing Ads are usually borin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing and thereby harder to work with.
Advertisements for any products, services, or social causes are acceptable. Any prin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">int sources are acceptable.
