    Study Notes

    Motivation and Affect

    • When a need is aroused that the consumer wishes to satisfy, the process is activated. This is motivation.
    • Wants are a combination of personal and cultural factors.
    • Not all biological explanations of motivation are present in expectancy theory. They are part of drive theory and homeostasis.
    • The desired end state in the motivation process is the consumer's goal.
    • When a woman buys expensive jewelry, hedonic needs are most likely being expressed.
    • Motivation that is driven by the need for pleasure is called hedonic effect.
    • A conflict between desiring and avoiding a goal describes an approach-avoidance conflict.
    • The lowest order (most basic) of needs in Maslow's hierarchy is physiological needs.
    • The U.S. Army's advertising slogan "Be all you can be" addresses self-actualization needs from Maslow's hierarchy.

    Need Theory

    • Instinct theory suggests customers desire homeostasis (balance)
    • Drive theory is related to homeostasis (or balance).
    • Expectancy theory is NOT a biological explanation of motivation.
