What encourages individuals to conform

•Factors within the group •Cohesiveness - how close knit the group is. The more cohesiveness, the greater the pressure to conform. •Group size - pressure to conform as the group increases from 2 to 3 to 4. Increasing a group size beyond four does not increase pressure to conform. •Expertise - the perceived expertise of the group for a given product category. •Group's view of product category salience - the higher the degree of salience, the more pressure to conform (salience refers to the relevance and importance of an object or category)

What is Miller's Law?

•The average person can process only about seven "chunks" of information at the same time (plus or minus two). An example is a telephone number, which is normally provided as three digits, three digits, then four digits. •This is due (in part) because there is a bottleneck in short-term memory - can only work a limited number of tasks at the same time. •Think about what happens if several people are telling you what to do, one after the other.

(4) Factors that influence the level of involvement

•The product •The personality of the buyer •The purchase situation •Communication between buyer and seller

what three things happen in the behavioral component of attitudes?

◦The consumer will not devote time to processing cognitive information. ◦The attitude is so trivial that the consumer won't consider counter arguments (buying pencils and erasers for school supplies) ◦An affective approach simply isn't strong enough to create a change.

Under what conditions might someone in marketing choose the Cognitive/affective/ behavioral component to create a change in attitude?

◦The multiattribute attitude model measures the cognitive component of an attitude; however, attitudes also can have an affective component and a behavioral component to an attitude ◦Affective component: feelings, emotional reactions, moods triggered by a particular object ◦Behavioral component: an individual's tendency to behave/respond in a certain manner towards an object or activity (order same thing in a restaurant each time, always buy the same brand of socks at the same store, etc.)

Consumers come into situations with a certain script in mind, so if you deviate from the script consumers need to see value of that deviation otherwise they won't understand why it is necessary

What is the difference between cognitive interpretation of stimuli and affective interpretation of stimuli? Which comes first?

Affective interpretation is essentially how it makes you feel. Cognitive is what we think about something. We tend to recognize what something is before we understand how it is making us feel, therefore cognitive comes first.

Briefly describe the multi-attribute model.

An attitude towards an object (in our case, an attitude toward a brand or AB) is a function of the cumulative beliefs about an object. So, if we are determining someone's attitude toward Costco's store brand of iced tea, we might have the following attributes: taste, price, convenience, with the brand's performance measured on a seven-point scale anchored by 7=good and 1=bad. We can then measure someone's attitude by summing their 1-7 scores for each of these three attributes.

What is the Asche Phenomenon, and how does it relate to consumer behavior?

An experiment done in the 1960s about peer pressure. Basically took a group of four people and had them look at three lengths of line and then had them compare it to another length of line. Of those which are similar in length. Of 4 people in the experiment, 3 were paid actors who would all incorrectly identify the incorrect length. When those three all agreed it convinced the other to agree even though it is definitely the wrong length, hence the peer pressure. The size of the group affects peer pressure only up to about 4-5 people.

Norms

Differentiate between operant conditioning, classical conditioning, and vicarious learning? Under which circumstances should someone in CB attempt to trigger each of these types of learning in consumers?

Operant- a better fit for things that tend to be much more cognitive than the the decision process that we do and have higher involvement Classical makes the most sense to do when dealing with low involvement products where consumers don't have to think much of such as soda, candy Vicarious- learning by observing, you watch someone do something and then receive the consequences of that behavior which increases the likelihood of you doing something or not, in between low and high involvement.

What is the difference between situational involvement and enduring involvement? How would someone in marketing respond differently if consumers have enduring involvement for her/his product category?

Situational Involvement is the relevance of a product for a specific situation. It typically occurs over a short period of time and is associated with a specific situation. Enduring involvement means that someone spends time thinking about a product category even when they aren't in the market for that category, with this you need to put the info where you know consumers will look even if they aren't looking for it.

What is social comparison theory? Be complete! chapter 7

With social comparison we all seek to accurately evaluate ourselves. One of the ways we do this is by comparing our beliefs, actions, abilities, possessions to those of others. We do this as we seek self-enhancement. •In general, people choose a comparison target similar to themselves •Individuals sometimes distort these comparisons in order to feel better about themselves. To figure out where they stand, consumers use reflected appraisals, how others treat them or comparative appraisals where consumers evaluate their standing compared to an attitude, ability, emotion, or appearance.
