There are numerous studies published in relation to the product placement practices in different communicational and cultural tools such as movies, TV series and literature and their effect on buying behaviors of individuals (Jin & Villegas, 2007;McKechnie & Zhou, 2003;Barnhardt, Manzano, Brito, Myrick, & Smith 2016), brand recall (Johnstone & Dodd, 2000;Argan, Velioğlu, & Argan, 2007) and the attitudes of the audience (Balasubramanian, Karrh & Patwardhan, 2006;Russell & Stern, 2006;Philips, & Noble, 2007;Cowley & Barron, 2008;Sapmaz & Tolon, 2014;Kırcova & Şirin, 2017). However, there seems to be a scarcity of research focusing on other attitudinal components affecting the audience's attitudes toward product placement, to the best of the authors' knowledge.…”
