values which are recongnized as a powerful force influencing
consumer behavior. Hofstede''s cultural dimensions were employed
for main categories. A total of 1,246 (Taiwan) and 1,000
(America) commercial magazine advertisings were collected. We
regard cross-cultural differiences, the values are increasing
or decreasing, the trends are converging or diverging, and
product involvement levels are also considered. Statistic
analysis of the data indicated that the singnif- icant
increasing of IDV, MAS, FEM are homogeneous trends and P.D,
UAI, IDV are converaging. But the MAS differences between two
countries will remain large over time. P.D, INF,TEC, UAI,
