Study Notes
Psychogenic Needs
- Murray's inventory of 20 psychogenic needs explains behaviors, influencing Maslow's hierarchy and personality tests like the TAT.
- The TAT uses ambiguous pictures and questions whose answers reveal projected needs (achievement, affiliation, power, uniqueness).
- Individuals prioritize these needs differently.
- Marketers use products and services that signify success to satisfy consumer goals, leveraging the association with perceived success, social integration, and elitist group membership.
- Luxury goods exemplify this approach, linking products with status perceptions.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Maslow's hierarchy, a pyramidal model with five levels of needs, became popular after WWII.
- Lower levels (physiological, safety, belongingness, esteem) need satisfaction precedes higher ones (self-actualization).
- Self-actualization is the highest aspiration, in ideal circumstances.
- The hierarchy is a model to understand motivation but isn't universally applicable.
- Cultural differences influence the order of needs like in the East prioritizing the group over the individual, potentially skewing the assumed hierarchy.
Consumer Involvement
- Consumer involvement describes awareness motivating consumers to seek, attend to, and consider product information before a purchase
- Needs naturally vary across markets, differing within the same one influenced by conditions like wealth, stability, war, or deprivation.
- This means resources, or immediate needs impact the prioritization of needs
- Maslow's hierarchy is culture-bound, and the order of needs may not reflect a consumer's progression up a hypothetical hierarchy.
- It's primarily helpful for understanding that consumer needs & priorities may differ across situations and stages of their lives - not as a strict measurement of individual progressions
