|
Two types of Perceptual Screens:
I. Physiological Screens II. Psychological Screens |
I. The perceptual screens that use the five senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell—to detect incoming data and measure the dimension and intensity of the physical stimulus.
II. The perceptual screens consumers use to evaluate, filter, and personalize information according to subjective standards, primarily emotions and personality. |
|
i.self-concept

Persuasion
|
A change in thought process or behavior that occurs when the change in belief, attitude, or behavioral intention is caused by promotion communication (such as advertising or personal selling).
|
|
The Elaboration Likelihood Model(of Persuasion)
|
A theory of how persuasion occurs due to promotion communication. Psychologists Petty, Cacioppo, and Schumann theorize that the method of persuasion depends on the consumer's level of involvement with the product and the message.
*High involvement= Central Route *Low involvement= Peripheral Route |
|
a)Central Route to Persuasion
|
When consumers have a high level of involvement with the product or the message, they are motivated to pay attention to the central, product-related information in an ad, such as product attributes and benefits, or demonstrations of positive functional or psychological consequences
*Comprehension= product beliefs, brand attitudes, purchase intention |
|
b)Peripheral Route to persuasion
= Most mass media advertisements |
b)People who have low involvement with the product or message have little or no reason to pay attention to it or to comprehend the central message of the ad. However, these consumers might attend to some peripheral aspects of an ad or commercial for their entertainment value. Whatever they feel or think about these peripheral, nonproduct aspects might integrate into a positive attitude toward the ad. At some later date, these ad-related meanings could be activated to form some brand attitude or purchase intention.
