Abstract

The role of values in creating effective mass communication in a cross-cultural context is briefly reviewed. In particular, the laddering process relating product attributes ta ultimate life goals is examined. Within this framework, a means-end analysis of automobiles is conducted for samples of Anglos and Hispanics. Results show that the primary and secondary means-end chains are different for the two groups. The impact on mass communications to the two groups is discussed.
