(单词翻译:单击)

※ 主题思路:

在广告中用不用音乐,有无歌词,歌词是原厂还是翻唱都对广告有影响。其中有名的歌手用原唱效果好,比较没有名气的歌手用翻唱改动过的歌词效果更好,科学家在研究后者的原因并给出了几种猜想。他们研究还发现男女对不同形式的广告的反映也不相同

※ 段落大意:

P1:

科学家经过研究发现广告与歌曲的联系,1>With songsmore effective than without 2>With vocal more effective than without3>With original lyrics when in high personal significance more effectivethan with altered lyrics when in low personal significance。

说有歌词的song of high personalsignificance 让人印象深刻,一种是说altered lyric song of lowpersonal significance 也让人印象深刻。意思就是红就用原唱,不红就翻唱,因为大家会觉得翻唱部分比较新,原文有”lack of fit”(这里是一个细节题,因为“觉得比较新”这个原文是在括号里的,容易忽略)

P2:

对于当红歌手,原声比较重要,这个很容易证明,但是对于那些不咋地的歌手,改编歌词更能提高广告影响力,这是为啥呢? 然后研究者又猜测了好几种解释,比如novelty lyrics 等等,例如有貌似是这些人听到歌被改了以后表示不爽,结果反而加深了印象。

P3:

男女的有效性有差别:对于男人和女人,研究人员发现,男人对于红歌手比较感冒,女的对于不红的比较感冒。(细节题)在研究中把性别的不同按照第一段的顺序又比较了一遍

※ 题目:

Q1: 主旨

Q2: 男人对什么广告敏感

Q3:第二段的作用

有三个选项不靠谱,靠谱的是A和B。

A:对于第一段中研究人员提出的成果给出了更进一步的研究结果

B:对于第一段的提出的一些现象提供了解释

有狗主选B

Q4: 问哪一种歌最让人印象深刻

我选的:男人,高知名度歌手,原声。male high personal significance original lyrics

Q5: 问下面哪个是研究者没有说的

Q6: 有一个题是把第一段的是否翻唱是否原声和第三段的男人女人结合起来的考题,

貌似是选D男人开头的那个。

DAVID ALLAN Saint Joseph'sUniversity dallan@sju.eduThis study examines the effects of popular music inadvertising to determine both the theoretical (the effect of popular music onthe processing of advertising messages) and practical (the design of moreeffective advertisements using popular music) implications. An experiment isreported that tested the effects of three integrations of popular music inadvertising: original lyrics, altered lyrics, and instrumentals (plus a controltreatment with no music) on attention and memory. The results indicated thatsong vocals, either original or altered, are more effective stimuli ofadvertising effects than instrumentals or no popular music.But Kahneman (1973)said that attention describes some internal mechanisms that determine thesignificance not the relevance of stimuli. This suggests that popular musicwith high or low personal significance will lead to greater or lesser attentionto the integrated advertising messages; popular music vocals will be moreattention-getting than other treatments; and original popular vocals with highpersonal significance will be the most effective at getting the attention ofthe individual.Popular music with original vocals was a more effective stimulusof attention and memory when high in personal significance and popular musicwith altered vocals was a more effective stimulus of attention and memory whenlow in personal significanceThe individuals in this experiment processed songsand artists they considered high in personal significance differently fromthose that were low in significance.... When the artist was significant, theoriginal vocal led to greater brand attention but when the artist was notsignificant, the altered vocal led to greater brand attention.... It suggeststhat the level of significance of the music and/or the artist can affectinvolvement possibly resulting in different processing of the advertisingmessages.and/or the artist can affect involvement possibly resulting in differentprocessing of the advertising messages. While high personal significance can bea possible explanation for the attentiongaining value of original vocals, lowpersonal significance cannot adequately explain the attention-gaining value ofaltered vocals. Three possible explanations include thenoveltyof hearing apopular song with altered lyrics (especially the first time); irritationcausedby the changed lyrics; and/or the lack of fit of the song or the artist withthe brand. All of these could have been attention-gaining stimuli causinggreater attention to the brand and the song. It is clear, however, that lyrics(either original or altered) are important and that even though an interactionwas observed for just one song and artist ("The Middle" by Jimmy EatWorld) based on the lyrics, the results are of practical importance toadvertisers for two primary reasons. First, the use of no music or aninstrumental version of a popular song should be avoided. Second, if theadvertiser is able to use a popular song that is personally significant to thetarget market of the brand, then the original vocal version should be used, butif not, an altered vocal version should be considered.Either way,personalsignificance plays a role in the effectiveness of popular music inadvertising on attention and memory, brand memory were observed for one of thebrands (Sony) for both the song ("Without Me") and the artist(Eminem), with some apparent significant effects for genders. It is interestingto note that for the Kodak brand, males were observed to have greater memoryfor the brand than females when the song and the artist ("The Middle"by Jimmy Eat World) were highly significant but that females had greater memoryfor the brand when the song and the artist were low in personal significance.This could suggest that males are more sensitive to the level ofpersonalsignificancethey have for advertising messages integrated in popularmusic than females, but this would need future research.
