Meta-Analyses of Attitudes toward Advertising by Professionals

Abstract
Two meta-analyses of attitudes toward advertising by professionals are presented, which allow formulation of generalizations from 10 years' research spanning the time since the relaxation of professional advertising restrictions first was discussed and subsequently implemented. Results suggest that differences in attitudes across professions may be attributable to the importance, heterogeneity, and assessability of quality levels; that exposure to professional advertising produces attitude changes in favor of increased advertising by professionals; and that consumers are more favorably disposed toward such advertising than are professionals.
