Background and Hypothesis

Theoretical Framework

Limited Capacity Model of Mediated Message Processing

This study applies the limited capacity model of mediated message processing (LC3MP) to examine how the reader of online newspapers processes banner advertisements. The LC3MP, developed by Annie Lang (2000), has been used to investigate how the content and structural features of various media messages (e.g., radio, television, print, photography, Web, and video games) affect media users’ cognitive and emotional processing (A. Lang, 1990; A. Lang, Bolls, Potter, & Kawahara, 1999; A. Lang, Borse, et al, 2002; A. Lang, Chung, Lee, & Zhao, 2005; A. Lang, Geiger, Strickwerda, & Sumner, 1993; Schneider, Lang, Shin, & Bradley, 2004).
