Abstract
Recent developments in attitude research include a general class of “expectancy-value” models which allow both prediction and diagnosis of attitude. The present research undertakes a validation study of one form of the ExV model, and presents an illustrative diagnosis of student attitudes toward a career in advertising. The model is found to exhibit a satisfactory degree of validity and offers promise for the formulation of communication strategies, whether in the recruiting of new employees or in the marketing of goods and services.
