Essential Question: How do values, beliefs and
attitudes impact advertising?
The following is the Rokeach Value Survey. The group
on the left are terminal values; these are "end result"
values describing what you want to get out of life. The
second group of 18 on the right are instrumental
values; these are the ways in which you seek to
accomplish the terminal values.
Advertisers are keenly aware of the values, beliefs and
attitudes posited by the responses; hence these
influence the development of a product and its
marketing. Note that this Value Survey effectively
differentiates people into terms of race, sex. religion,
occupation, political ideology and in a variety of other
characteristics.
Assignment: Part 1, Monday- taking the survey (see mechanics below; make sure to save as a word document). Take your time; the more aware you are of your value system, the more awareness you have about what is being sold to you.
Tuesday/Wednesaday part 2- read over your terminal and instrumental values lists, making any changes. Now in approximately 250 words, discuss why you felt particular values were or were not important.
This is due by midnight on Wednesday. Use your time productively. Problems/ questions, come to office hours on Wednesday.
Below you will find two lists of values: terminal and instrumental; each in alphabetical order. Each value is accompanied by a short description and a blank space. Your goal is to rank each value in its order of importance to you for each of the two lists. Study each list and think of how much each value may act as a guiding principle in your life.
Mechanics: create a word document. Copy and paste the following two lists: terminal values and instrumental values. For each list number the values in the order of importance to you. So the most important is number 1, followed by 2, through to 18.
When you have finished ranking all 18 the instrumental values, rank the next 18 values in the same way. Please do each separately.
When ranking, take your time and think carefully. Feel free to go back and change your order should you have second thoughts about any of your answers. That's called reflection. This is not an easy task. When you have completed the ranking of both sets of values, order the two lists in numerical order; the result should represent an accurate picture of how you really feel about what’s important in your life.
To repeat: 1) copy and paste the terminal values list onto a word document
2) copy and paste the instrumental values onto a second word document
3) read each list separately and order them from 1-18 as to how you deem them important to you; adjust as you reflect upon these
4. Finally, pair of the two lists, numerically You will use these for tomorrow's class.
