Study Notes
Motivation
- Rogers' Protection Motivation Theory (1983) explains how fear appeals can persuade audiences by motivating them to protect themselves from negative consequences.
- The theory highlights four key elements:
- Specifying the unpleasant consequences of not following recommended actions
- Communicating the likelihood of those negative consequences
- Indicating how to avoid the negative consequences
- Explaining that individuals are capable of performing the recommended actions
Perception
- The perceptual process involves a chain of events from sensorial input to conscious recognition of an external event.
- Capturing customer attention can be achieved through:
- Packaging
- Promotional incentives
- Good global perception
- Advertisements
Decision Making
- Decision making typically begins with problem recognition, which arises from a discrepancy between a current state and a desired state.
- The imbalance between the two states creates tension, provoking behavior to eliminate the problem.
- Problem recognition can be attributed to changes in one's actual condition or ideal state.
Attitudes and Persuasion
- Attitude change is related to the assumption that attitudes and behavior are causally linked.
- The Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) by Petty and Cacioppo (1986) proposes two routes to persuasion:
- Central route: responds to the content of the communication
- Peripheral route: responds to the number of people supporting the view and the atmosphere or context of the surrounding
- Persuasion can be influenced by factors such as:
- Credibility of the communicator
- Prestige
- Genuine motivation
- Non-verbal and indirect methods
- Views of reference groups
- Experience and trust
Factors related to the Message
- Factors that influence persuasion include:
- Repetition
- Explicit messages
- Interactive personal discussions
- Arousal of emotion
- Context of the message
- One-sided communication (more persuasive for less intelligent individuals)
- Two-sided communication (more persuasive for intelligent individuals)
Factors related to the Recipient
- Recipient characteristics that influence persuasion include:
- High self-esteem and intelligence (more resistant to social pressure)
- Responding to complex communications and indirect methods
Stereotypes
- Stereotypes are schemas about entire groups of people, often involving false assumptions about shared characteristics.
- They can lead to prejudice, which is a positive or negative attitude towards an individual based on their group membership.
Psychology of Marketing
- The study of psychology in marketing provides insight into customer behavior and informs marketing actions and decision-making.
