  1. Chapter 5 Motivation and Emotion: Driving Consumer Behavior

  2. Learning Outcomes • Understand what initiates human behavior • Classify basic consumer motivations • Describe consumer emotions and demonstrate how they help shape value • Apply different approaches to measuring consumer emotions

  3. Learning Outcomes • Understand how different consumers express emotions in different ways • Define and apply the concepts of schema-based affect and emotional contagion

  4. Motivations • The inner reasons or driving forces behind human action as consumers are driven to address real needs • Human motivations are oriented toward two key groups of behavior: • Homeostasis - The body naturally reacts in a way so as to maintain a constant, normal blood stream • Self-improvement - Changing one’s current state to a level that is more ideal

  5. Regulatory Focus Theory • Consumers orient their behavior either through a prevention or promotion focus • Prevention focus - Orients consumers toward avoiding negative consequences • Promotion focus - Orients consumers toward the pursuit of their aspirations or ideals

  6. General Hierarchy of Motivation • Maslow’s hierarchy of needs • Physiological - Basic survival • Safety and security - The need to be secure and protected • Belongingness and love - The need to feel like a member of a family or community • Esteem - The need to be recognized as a person of worth • Self-actualization - The need for personal fulfillment

  7. Simpler Classification of Consumer Motivations • Utilitarian motivation - A drive to acquire products that consumers can use to accomplish things • Hedonic motivation - Involves a drive to experience something personally gratifying

  8. Consumer Involvement • Represents the degree of personal relevance a consumer finds in pursuing value from a given consumption act • Types of involvement: • Product • Shopping • Situational • Enduring • Emotional

  9. Emotions • Psychobiological reactions to appraisals • Psychobiological - They involve psychological processing and physical responses • Visceral responses - Certain feeling states are tied to behavior in a very direct way

  10. Cognitive Appraisal Theory • Describes how specific types of thoughts can serve as a basis for specific emotions • Cognitive appraisals: • Anticipation • Agency • Equity • Outcomes

  11. Emotion Terminology • Mood - A transient (temporary and changing) and general affective state • Mood-congruent judgments - The value of a target is influenced in a consistent way by one’s mood • Affect - Represents the feelings a consumer has about a particular product or activity

  12. Measuring Emotion • Emotions play a key role in shaping value • Autonomic measures - Automatically record visceral reactions or neurological brain activity • Self-report measures - Less obtrusive than biological measures because they don’t involve physical contraptions like MRI machines or lie detectors

  13. Differences in Emotional Behavior • Emotional involvement • Emotional expressiveness • Emotional intelligence

  14. Emotion and Cognitive Learning Interplay • Semantic writing • Consumers link concepts for memory retrieval • The active process and storage of knowledge is influenced by emotions • When marketing presents a product that evokes emotions, consumer recall is likely to increase

  15. Emotion and Cognitive Learning Interplay • Mood-congruent recall • Events are associated with moods • When a mood can be controlled by marketing, consumers evaluations of a product can be influenced

  16. Emotion and Cognitive Learning Interplay • Nostalgia • Events in the past may be remembered more positively than they were in reality • Consumers can make purchases based on nostalgic feelings brought up about the past by the product

  17. Schema-Based Affect • Emotions become stored as part of the meaning for a category

  18. Aesthetic Labor • To generate a specific emotional reaction from consumers, employees carefully manage their personal appearance

  19. Self-Conscious Emotions • Specific emotions that result from some evaluation or reflection of one’s own behavior • Include pride, shame, guilt, and embarrassment

  20. Emotional Contagion • Emotional contagion - Represents the extent to which an emotional display by one person influences the emotional state of a bystander • Emotional labor - Workers have to overtly manage their own emotional displays as part of the requirements of the job

  21. Emotional Contagion • Product contamination - The diminished positive feelings someone has about a product because another consumer has handled the product
