Study Notes
Persuasion Techniques
- Reciprocity: More likely to give if receiving first; be the first to give, personalize and make it unexpected.
- Scarcity: Items more attractive when unavailable; focus on limited editions.
- Authority: More trust in authoritative figures; highlight expertise.
- Consistency: Avoid contradicting past statements or actions; focus on voluntary, active, and public commitments.
- Liking: Agree more with those we like; emphasize similarity, compliments, and cooperation.
- Consensus: Consider others' actions before deciding; use social proof.
Persuasion/Attitude Change Theories
-
Balance Theory: Explains how people perceive relationships between attitude objects and adjust attitudes for consistency.
- Triad: A person, an attitude object, and another person/object in relation to the attitude object.
- Unit Relation: Connection between person and attitude object.
- Sentiment Relation: Person's liking/disliking of the attitude object.
- Balance: Desirable state; unbalanced triads create tension resolved by attitude change.
- Celebrity Endorsements: Transfer of positive feelings from celebrity to product; focus on logical fit, credible experts, and visible product use.
-
Social Judgment Theory: Describes how new information changes attitudes.
- Latitude of Acceptance: Arguments aligned with existing opinions; no attitude change (Assimilation).
- Latitude of Non-Commitment: Arguments slightly different from opinions; potentially open to change; attitude change possible here.
- Latitude of Rejection: Arguments highly opposing opinions; immediate rejection (Contrast). Marketers should aim for the latitude of non-commitment.
-
Fishbein Model: Attitude = Belief x Importance.
- Attitude Change: Emphasize beliefs, add new beliefs, change belief importance, compare across brands. Beliefs are easier to change than attitudes. Weak attitudes are easier to change than strong.
Appeals
- Sexual Appeals: Draws attention, effective when related to product; may be counter-effective for unrelated products. Higher recall, positive attitudes, and purchase intentions for low-involvement consumers. Lower recall by men.
- Humorous Appeals: Gets attention & positive mood, reduces counter-argumentation; often effective for low-involvement products. Reduced message comprehension; possible quick wear-out.
- Fear Appeals: Emphasize negative consequences with solutions; potent force in social marketing campaigns, best with moderate threats.
Persuasive Paradigms
- Implementation Intentions: Translate intentions into actions by linking a present action with a future situation (if/then statements).
- Anticipated Regret: Increased intention-behavior relationship; consider potential regret associated with a behavior. Consider how regret can influence behavior.
Rambaran (2015) - Balance Theory Application
- Heider's Balance Theory: Describes how relationships influence sentiments about situations. Shared opinions with friends lead to positive expectations.
-
Structural Balance:
- Positive Ties: Friendships; balanced when characterized by three positive ties or two negative ties and one positive (stable).
- Negative Ties: Animosities; balanced when characterized by two negative ties and one positive.
- Hypotheses: Shared enemy, friends' agreement, reinforced animosity, enemy's enemy.
