between the intended meaning and the perceived meaning of a trait or traits, the<br />
researcher would clarify and validate the meaning with the subject.<br />
The benefit of the breakdown of the previous questions is that it allowed to<br />
filter out subjects which had either no previous long-term memory information<br />
(Kardes, 1999) of the movies or series or of its characters, not enabling them to<br />
make elaborate by associating this long term information with newly acquired<br />
knowledge in short-term memory (Foxall, Brown and Goldsmith, 1998) through the<br />
Balance Model of Product Placement Effects (Russell and Stern, 2006).<br />
Once this first part of the survey was concluded, the subjects were asked to<br />
watch a series of video clips as previously described. The first group of subjects, the<br />
experimental group, would view a series of video clips in random order containing<br />
the product placements. The product placements paired one of the previously described<br />
characters with a brand as shown in table 11.<br />
