Finally, 487 (71%) sample data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS and AMOS package using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and Structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that TV ad factors such as entertainment, advertisement likability, content credibility, quality information, and celebrity endorsement positively impacted children's pestering.
