5.3c How Multitasking Preference and Media Multitasking Behavior Influence General Advertising Perceptions

Saturday, March 30, 2019 at 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CDT
3-Bordeaux
Abstract

This study explored the relationship between multitasking preferences, multitasking behavior, and general perceptions of advertising. As an audience, heavier multitaskers engage with more media more frequently, yet we do not know much about how they perceive the ads that are placed in those media. Therefore, we explored the relationship between individual multitasking and detailed factors of advertising perception. Using a survey (N=451), we looked at more specific perceptions of advertising, namely value, irritation, entertainment, informativeness, and deception. Results showed a positive relationship between media multitasking preference and media multitasking behavior. Multitasking preference was not a significant predictor of perception of advertising, however, self-reported media multitasking behavior had a positive relationship with advertising value, advertising entertainment and advertising informativeness. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
