Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of affective and cognitive determinants of consumers' attitude towards mobile advertising in the Qatari mobile market which is going through a technological and a social change. The data were gathered using face-to-face and online questionnaire based survey from a sample of 18-24 year old Qatari consumers. A total of 256 questionnaires were collected out of which 227 became part of the data analysis. The results indicated that young consumers' attitude towards mobile advertising in Qatar was favourably influenced by perceived entertainment, degree of innovation, level of informativeness and social norms. At present, young consumers are not too concerned about permission-based mobile advertising as irritation is not a serious issue. Still, marketers need to be careful towards overwhelming or annoying the consumers with irrelevant and excessive mobile advertising.
