电子游戏性别刻板印象广告的消费者反应研究

Consumer Response towards Gender-Stereotype in Video Game Advertising

随着电子游戏市场的发展,女性玩家逐渐成为游戏公司不容忽视的消费群体。然而,电子游戏广告中的性别刻板印象并未随之减少。通过使用带有性别刻板印象广告的问卷与没有性别刻板印象广告的问卷,分别调研消费者对电子游戏性别刻板印象广告的反应。采用描述统计分析、相关性分析、多元线性回归分析以及协变量的变异数分析等统计研究方法对调研数据进行解析,结果表明:消费者对于没有性别刻板印象的广告反应优于有性别刻板印象的广告。游戏广告创作需与电子游戏发展趋势相匹配,通过减少电子游戏广告中的性别刻板印象来提高消费者的情绪愉悦程度、降低消费者的广告批判态度。
