Abstract

This study analyzes the Soju(Korean alcohol) advertisement image, which is relatively easy to interpret subjectively, among sexual appeal advertisements that stimulate consumers' curiosity, where the image is verified through AOI (area of interest) 3 areas (face, body, product), and eye-tracking, one of the psychophysiological indicators. The result of the analysis reveals that visual attention, the interest in the advertising model, was higher in the face than in the body shape. Contrary to the prediction that men would be more interested in body shape than women, both men and women showed higher interest in the face than a body. Besides, it was derived that recognition and recollection of the product were not significant. This study is significant in terms of examining the pattern of visual attention such as the gaze point and gaze time of male and female consumers on sexual appeal advertisements. In further, the study looks forward to bringing a positive influence to the soju advertisement image by presenting the expression method that the soju advertisement image should pursue as well as the appropriate marketing direction.

본 연구는 소비자의 호기심을 자극하는 성적소구 광고 중에서 특히 주관적으로 해석하기 쉬운 소주광고 이미지를 AOI(area of interest) 3영역(얼굴, 몸매, 제품)으로 설정하여 심리 생리학적 지표 중 하나인 아이트래킹을 통해 검증하였다. 분석결과, 광고모델의 시각적 주의, 즉 관심도가 몸매보다는 얼굴에서 높게 나타났다. 남자가 여자보다 몸매에 관심도가 높을 거라는 예측과는 달리 남녀 모두 몸매보다는 얼굴에 관심도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 제품에 대한 재인과 회상은 유의하지 않음을 도출하였다. 본 연구는 성적소구 광고에 대한 남녀 소비자들의 시선의 응시점과 응시시간 등의 시각적 주의의 패턴을 살펴보았다는 점에서 의의를 가지며 소주광고 이미지가 나아가야 할 표현방식과 나아가 적절한 마케팅 방향을 제시함으로써 소주광고 이미지에 긍정적인 영향을 가져다주길 기대한다.
