The Potter Box is what kind of system?

Linked


Freud's Values

Valuing occurs automatically and are an expression of everyday circumstances. There is no way to remove them from any human action.

Louis Hodges' Values

says there are 5 categories of ethics: virtue, duty, utility, rights, and love.

Aristotle's Values

Emphasized moderation and temperance. Justice is a mean lying between indifference and selfish indulgence of insisting personal interests.


Confucious' Values

rooted his theory in virtue. He teaches Equilibrium: The great root from which grows all human action.

Kant

The categorical imperative, essentially the golden rule.


Utilitarianism

Determining what is right or wrong based on what would be best for the majority of human beings. Later utilitarians expand on the idea of happiness. it wants us to 1. produce the best possible balance of good vs. evil and 2. distribute this as widely as possible.

Utilitarian Difficulties

It is hard to make accurate measurements of consequences, you can’t predict social changes of the future, principles of great public benefit only apply to societies where non utilitarian standards of decency prevail, and they see society as collection of separate people, but the public good concerns a total of private goods.


John Rawl

Fairness is the fundamental idea in the concept of justice. Fairness means quantity: everyone in the same union does the same thing.



Rawl's Veil of Ignorance

“Justice emerges when negotiating without social differentiations.” It asks that all parties step back from real circumstances to an “original position behind a barrier where roles and social roles are eliminated. He argues that we automatically try to protect the underdog.


2 principles of the veil

The first principle calls for a maximal system of equal basic liberty compatible with like liberty for all. Liberty has priority in that it can never be traded away for social or economic advantage. Thus, the first position permanently conditions the second. The second principle involves all social goods other than liberty and allows inequalities in the distribution of these goods only if they act to benefit the least advantaged party. The inequalities in power, wealth, and income on which we agree must benefit the members of society who are worse off.


Judeo-Christian as ends

“Love thy neighbor as yourself”


Feminist Perspective

nurturing, caring, affection, empathy, and inclusiveness. Carol Gilligan says that the female moral voice roots itself in primacy of relationships.

Noddings idea:

There are two people: One who cares and one who is cared for


5 Categories of moral obligation

Duty to ourselves: maintaining integrity and preserving our self-interest.


Duty to clients/subscribers/supporters


Duty to our organization or firm: Loyalty to an employer.


Duty to professional colleagues: respect to people who do the same work as you


Duty to society: What is best for society.

Who os the authentic moral agent?

The individual

Minnette E. Drumwrite and Patrick E. Murphy

How Advertising Practitioners View Ethics Moral Muteness, Moral Myopia, and Moral Imagination


Christians, Rotzoll, Fackler

Ethical Foundations and Perspectives

Moral Myopia

A distortion of moral vision. It hinders the ideas from coming into focus. There are 6 categories of this.


Consumers are smart

Cannot be fooled


Passing the buck

putting the blame elsewhere

Ostrich syndrome

Out of sight out of mind

What is legal

Moral Muteness

Ethical issues did not enter into discourse at either an individual or organizational level. They do not recognizably communicate their moral concerns in settings where it would be fitting. Three forms of moral muteness

Negative Expressions

not blowing the whistle on observed abuses and not questioning decisions.

Positive Expressions

Not speaking up for ideals

Not holding other accountable

Not providing adequate feedback

4 categories of rationalizations

1. Pandora’s box syndrome

Compartmentalization

Separating personal convictions from work convictions

“Seeing Talking” Advertising Practitioners

Recognize and discuss morals

What Seeing Talking Advertisers do

-ST advertisers practice recognition: the recognize the issues readily, they do not see themselves as just doing their clients bidding but rather they are doing their own work.


They practice communication and think it is extremely important that their work have ethical dimensions.


-They are okay with saying no if they are not comfortable.


-They have a Moral imagination: the ability to think outside of the box envisioning other options.

Rest’s model of 4 psychological components determining moral behavior

1.) Moral sensitivity (interpreting the situation) 2.) moral judgement (judging as right or wrong), 3.) moral motivation (prioritizing moral values relative to other values) and 4.) moral character (having courage, persisting, overcoming distractions, implementing skills)

Ideology

Key Characteristics of FRAGILE child

Behavior directed largely by desires and emotions


· Desires are thought to be outside the child’s control = much of their behavior is out of their control


Passive receiver of messages: high in attention and ready to respond to messages


· Highly susceptible to influence (especially when message speaks to emotions/desires)


· Early habits are difficult to change meaning they change very slowly


Question for fragile children

“what do commercials do to children”

Who generally uses the fragile child idea?

child psychiatrists and clinical psychologists who study children with emotional difficulties, and experimental psychologists

Key characteristics of RESILIENT children

Behavior directed by information that they process and store


· Active receiver of messages: actively selects, interprets, and shapes the messages to which they’re exposed.


· Seen as having a high degree of control over their behavior.


· Seen as undergoing enormous changes as they grow = major shifts in the child’s behavioral patterns.


Resilient is based on what?

Based on cognitive development theory and cognitive psychology


Fragile is based on what?

Based on Freudian psychoanalytic theory and stimulus-response learning theory

Question about resilient children?

“what do children do to commercials”

Meditational deficiencies

inability to preform cognitive operations

production deficiencies

failure to perform a cognitive operation due to factors other than ability, such as not knowing the operation could be used in a situation, and so forth.

Task analysis

an analysis of the information processing requirements of a specific situation.

Do a task analysis of a product choice situation to identify key aspects of retrieving and using information in choosing a particular product or brand.


Information processing behavior: retrieval and utilization of previously stored and currently available information. These information use processes involve cognitive developmental principles identified in work on children’s decision-making.


Do a task analysis of a TV commercial watching situation to identify key aspects of attending to, selecting, interpreting, and storing information from a commercial?


Information processing behavior:selecting, interpreting, and storing info. These are representational processes, which involve cognitive developmental principles identified in work on children’s memory development


Why would “basic research” on children’s responses to TV advertising be relevant for public policies regarding advertising directed at children?


Through their research they will prove if the following allegations are true or not:


· Failure to understand the selling intent of commercials keeps children under the age of eight from defending themselves against any advertising.


· Deep rooted habits and preferences for sugared products prevent children between 8-11 from defending themselves against advertising for sugared food products.

Ward, Wackman, & Wartella.

“Cognitive Aspects of Children’s Consumer Behavior.”


Developmental theory suggests that children proceed through a series of stages as they develop: what are four important aspects of cognitive stages?


1) Stages imply distinct, qualitative differences in children’s modes of thinking/problem solving at different stages


2) Stages of thought form an invariant sequence in individual development. Although environmental factors may alter the rate of growth, they don’t change the sequence


3) Stages of thought form structured wholes, so that a child will show thinking typical of his stage in numerous situations that may differ widely


4) Cognitive stages are hierarchical and integrative: higher stages become increasingly differentiated and at the same time integrate lower stages at a new level of organization.

What four stages of cognitive development did Piaget identify? What are some key characteristics of each stage?


1) Sensorimotor stage:


2) Preoperational stage:


3) Concrete-operational stage: .


4) Formal-operational stage:

Sensorimotor stage

infants behavior isn’t mediated by thought as we know it, but rather by set behavior patterns (aka: schema)

preoperational stage

the child is developing symbolic abilities (language and mental imagery), but his behavior is still very closely linked to perception


concrete-operational stage

child has developed conceptual skills which enable him to effectively mediate perceptual activity, but only when dealing with concrete objects.



formal-operational stage

he develops adult-like thought patterns, including abstract thought. Can perform many complex cognitive operations including hypothetical and abstract thinking.


What are two important concepts related to changes in children’s cognitive functioning between the ages of 6 and 12? (2)

1) Younger children cannot engage in abstract thought, to the extent that older children can.


2) A child's cognitive ability between 6 and 12 years old is the growing ability of children to “decenter” their attention. The older child can focus on several dimensions of a situation and relate these dimensions. **This movement towards decentralization of thought suggests that older children may perceive and select more information from advertising messages than younger children.


What are three basic processes involved in children’s cognitive development?


1) The gradual development of causal reasoning processes such that older children are better able to relate events in a causal sequence.


2) The development in middle childhood (10/11 years) of the ability to infer motives in evaluating actions, such as identifying the motives of advertisers in commercials.


3) The general growth in more flexible information-gathering strategies as children proceed from the preoperational to the concrete-operational stage.

What four factors are important in the development process? What two factors are important in the learning process?

1) maturation of the physical abilities of the child


2) The child’s own experience with objects in the world


3) Social transmission, such as parents talking with the child, knowledge gained in classroom education


4) Equilibration, the child’s self-regulatory processes,


**Equilibration is particularly significant since it is the factor which integrates all aspects of development.

Consumer skills

consumer activities which have a cognitive basis in that they involve information-processing activities or other “thinking” capabilities which might follow the course of general cognitive growth


nonskill

consumer activities which is not thought to have a cognitive basis or follow the course of general cognitive development.


What is the basic hypothesis regarding the relationship between age and: lower-level information-processing skills

The use of lower-level skills will not change with age, because the cognitive capabilities necessar

What is the basic hypothesis regarding the relationship between age and: higher-level information-processing skills

The use of higher-level skills will increase substantially with age, because the cognitive capabilities necessary for utilizing these skills in consumer information processing undergo major development from ages 5-12.

Ward, Wackman, & Wartella. (2nd)

“Children’s Consumer Information Processing.”

What are the basic hypotheses relating age to various measures of children’s INITIAL PROCESSING OF TV ADVERTISING, such as attention to and selection of information from TV commercials?


The more perceptually bound the child (the younger the child), the greater the influence of perceptual characteristics of commercial on his attention; the less perceptually bound the child (older the child), the greater the influence of content or conceptual aspects of commercials on his attention.


What cognitive developmental concepts provide the basis for the hypotheses?

Piaget’s concept of cognitive development

describe differences between kindergartners and older children in: Attention behavior

age-related changes in children’s attention behavior are consistent with the overall development of consolidating conceptual skills.


describe differences between kindergartners and older children in: Selection of information from commercials:

as children grow older, recall of advertising becomes increasingly complex, multi-dimensional, and complete. With increased age, children recall more features and relate these features in the proper sequence to represent the story told in the commercial.


describe differences between kindergartners and older children in: Sources of new product information

With increased age, children become more flexible in the use of information-gathering strategies. both groups of older children appear to be aware of more sources of advertising and to view the various media as functional alternatives.


What are the basic hypotheses related age to measures of children’s CENTRAL PROCESSING OF TV ADVERTISING, such as understanding the intent of commercials and evaluating the truthfulness of commercials? (3)


3rd-6th grade children exhibit more elaborate and multi-dimensional recall of commercials and more accurate understanding of the purposes of commercials than younger children.


· They are also more likely to base attitudes toward specific commercials on message characteristics than on attitudes toward the product itself.


· They are also less likely to feel that commercials always told the truth


describe differences between kindergartners and older children in: Understanding the intent of commercials

strong linear relationship between awareness and age.


describe differences between kindergartners and older children in: Evaluating truthfulness of commercials:

Even 6th grade children do not always make subtle distinctions in evaluating advertising truthfulness. Kindergartners are nearly an even split between thinking commercials always tell the truth. Older kids have an increased proportions of answering “no” or “sometimes.” Some older children feel commercials tell the truth because of positive experiences they have had with advertised products, and on the other hand, more skepticism comes from children who have had negative experiences with advertised products.


Rossiter and Robertson

Children’s TV Commercials: Testing the Defenses

Cognitive defense

each child’s understanding of commercials

attitudinal defense

his associated belief, affect, and motivational disposition with respect to them


Cognitive defense measure

child’s ability to discriminate between commercials and programs, to recognize the existence of a sponsor as the source of the commercials message, to recognize the idea of an intended audience for the message, to comprehend the intentionality or purpose of commercials, and to understand the essential symbolic nature of product presentation.

attitudinal defense measure

based on child’s degree of believability, liking, and motivational tendency to want products he sees advertised in commercials.


Key factors influencing the development: maturational development, television exposure, and socialization.

maturational development

indexed by age and grade, is the most significant determinant of children’s cognitive and attitudinal defenses to TV advertising

television exposure

is seen as unrelated to cognitive defense level. But, is significantly related to child’s attitude toward commercials. The negative correlation between tv exposure and attitudinal defense indicates that those children who are heavy viewers are more favorably disposed toward tv advertising.

socialization

parental education is the dominant factor. Children of better educated parents exhibited stronger cognitive and attitudinal defenses to commericals. Also, children with older siblings might have stronger defenses to commercials

Children's defense patterns (2)

* 2) Shift is importance from attitudinal defense to cognitive defense with increasing grade level. Only attitudinal defense is effective among 1st graders. 3rd grade, attitudinal defense is still most effective, but cognitive defense is becoming more important. By 5th grade, cognitive defense is the only effective one.
