The statistical population consisted of physical education and Non-physical education students at Tehran of university which statistical sample 440 subjects were selected by using the stratified random sampling. To data collection, From Zaichkowsky’s Personal Involvement Inventory (1994), Russell & Mehrabian’s Pleasure scale (1974), Wells, Leavitt and McConville’s attitude toward advertisement (1971), and advertisement were used, their reliability obtained using the Cronbach's alpha 0.89, 0.93 and 0.96, respectively,.
