This research was to investigate that multiple models, in terms of multiple source effect and social
consensus, are more effective than single model and the higher the degree of harmony between the
models the effect of advertising will prove to be higher. And also, this research was to investigate the
role of message regulatory focus (promotion-focused message vs. prevention-focused message) and
self-construal (dependent vs. independent) on the advertising effect of multiple models.
It was investigated the difference of effects of advertising by single model, multiple harmonic model
and multiple dissonance model. On the condition of multiple model, the promotion-focused message
is more effective and there is no difference of advertising effect between the promotion-focused
message and prevention-focused message on the condition of single model. And then it was proved
that for dependent consumer multiple model is effective and for independent consumer single model is
effective. In the purpose of further theoretical and practical research, this research therefore presents
the overall perspectives of the advertising effect of multiple models including moderating roles of
message regulatory focus and self-construal in terms of involvement, harmony and gender differences.
