| Abstract |
| This study analyzed the material role images in TV advertisements. The purpose and implication of this study is to examine the material role images in advertisement and their changes in different times. First, this study systematically classified and proposed 4 material roles and 12 material role images type) through literature reviews. These are first types which classified a variety of maternal roles in modern society beyond existing traditional material roles.
For the analysis of such maternal role images, this study selected 1997, 2006 and 2011 as the representative years and classified total 252 advertisements to conduct content analysis on them. As the results, this study found that there are 7 types of maternal role images which can be identified significantly in advertisements, whereas 5 types are very weak or rare. The most frequently identified types include hygiene·safety, heath-oriented, friend-to-child, affectionate-warm, love empathy and smart·reasonable types in respective order. In addition, health-oriented and educational concern type of mothers showed the same distribution in 1997. In 2006, hygiene·safety type increased rapidly, and health-oriented type appeared second most frequently. In 2011, hygiene·safety type appeared frequently and persistently, and friend-to-child type tended to increase. These results may be attributed to the fact that the importance of emotional nurturing than physical nurturing is more emphasized in recent years, and the social awareness is also changed. Thus, this study found remarkable pattern in change across different times, which may be considered as the consequence of reflecting social phenomena and issues.
Some of the various maternal role images in our current society are stereotyped in a limited range. This is because advertisement reflects the reality in a limited way, and maternal role images appear focusing on those demanded by society. It is expected that future study recognizes various material roles and their importance and study modern maternity which keeps changing. |
