|
|

|
The minimum amount of stimuli able to be detected by an individual
|
|
Differential Threshold
|
The ability to detect changes between two different stimuli
|
|
Weber's Law
|
The greater the initial stimulus, the greater the degree of change necessary for it to be noticed
|
|
Schema

|
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
|
Physiological: "Nurofen goes straight to the source of pain"
Safety: Lloyd's Life Insurance "cash if you die cash if you don't" Love/Belonging: Nokia "Connecting People" Esteem/Ego: Jaguar "370 horse power leaves people no choice but to talk behind your back" Self-Actualisation: Adidas "Impossible is Nothing" |
|
Social vs Non-Social Needs
|
Social: Externally directed and relate to other individuals - need for status, support, love
Nonsocial: achievement not based on other people - need for sleep, control, variety, novelty |
|
Functional needs
|
Motivate search for offerings that solve consumption related problems
Social functional needs: modeling, support (hiring a nanny) Nonsocial: order, safety (buying a car with air bags) |
|
Symbolic needs
|
Relate to how we perceive ourselves, are perceived by others, how we relate to others
Social: achievement, belonging, status, need to avoid rejection Nonsocial: self-control, independence |
|
Hedonic needs
|
Relate to sensory pleasure - good taste, luxury brands, perfume, pretty things
Social: sex, play Nonsocial: sensory stimulation, cognitive stimulation, novelty |
|
Characteristics of needs
|
Never fully satisfied
Exist in hierarchy Can conflict: approach-approach (ie. burger vs burrito), approach-avoidance (ie. weight loss vs ice-cream), avoidance-avoidance (ie. medicine vs hospital) |
|
Mehrabian-Russell model (PAD)
|
Pleasure: degree to which a person feels good, happy, satisfied
Arousal: feelings of excitement, stimulation or feelings of boredom Dominance: the extent to which an individual feels in control Physical: desire to stay in or avoid store Exploratory: willingness to explore or avoid Communication: willingness to talk to sales personnel or ignore them Satisfaction: degree of enhancement or hindrance of satisfaction |

|
Instrumental/Operant Conditioning
|
We learn to perform behaviours with positive outcomes and avoid those with negative outcomes
Made deliberately to obtain a goal May happen over a period of time as a shaping process |
|

|
Peripheral Route processing

|
|
Limitations of Maslow
|
Physiological - appetite for certain foods
Intensity of needs are culture bound Motivations arent always driven by personal needs, rather by societal needs - ie. ethical consumption Unconscious motives lead to unconscious desires - ie. smell of food leads to hunger Hidden motives - desires might be surface indicators of more basic needs - ie. desire for icecream indirect expression of need for love |
|
Cognitive dissonance
|
Tendency to focus on the bad aspects of a chosen products and lose out on good qualities of not chosen one
|
|
approach-avoidance conflict
|

|
personal relevance

|
|
Describe consumer characteristics that may affect retrieval of product information.
|
An expert consumer is more likely to have highly elaborated semantic networks concerning products than an average consumer has. Because her networks include many categories containing many products, as well as detailed information about each product, an expert is far more likely than an average consumer to retrieve information about products. Also, a consumer is more likely to retrieve product information when she is in a positive, upbeat mood, or when the product information matches her mood.
|
