Abstract: This paper explores the attitudes that students have towards advertising. It is a replication of a study by Beard in 2003 and utilises the same questionnaire to examine ethical, economic, social and regulatory concerns across a sample of students in a UK university. The results indicate that the views of students are generally negative, as has been found in earlier research. Consumer empowerment has not led to a more positive perception of advertising. There is a strong call for more truthful and realistic advertising and a growing concern that advertising is manipulating people and more regulation is needed.
