This study is designed to examine the effects of video-type native advertising according to the
advertising appeal, involvement, persuasion knowledge. Thus, the objective of this study is to
investigate the extent of users’ active role in video-type native advertising by applying a persuasion
knowledge model. Moreover, this study attempts to examine the impact of advertising appeal and
involvement, which are important factors of traditional advertisement, on native advertising.
The results of this study are as follows, First, information-type showed higher advertising effects
(intention for purchase) than entertainment-type in terms of advertising appeal. Besides, native
advertising had higher advertising effects in terms of involvement (brand attitude and intention for
purchase) in case of low-involvement product than high-involvement product. Second, a significant
interactive effect was not observed between advertising appeal and involvement.
Third, advertising effects were more positive with lower persuasion knowledge in both cases of
article-type native advertising and video-type native advertising. Implications of study findings are
provided that advertising effects can be high when native advertising is mainly composed of
information-type contents rather than entertainment-type contents. Besides, advertising effects are
higher in case of a low-involvement product than a high-involvement product.
