Attitudes, Intentions, and Behavior II MKT 750 Dr. West
Agenda • ABC Model of Attitudes • Hierarchy of Effects • ELM • FCB Grid • The role of consistency • Dewar’s Repositioning
The rest of the story… • Affect • the way a consumer feels about an attitude object (favorable/unfavorable) • Behavior • the consumer’s intention to do something with regard to the attitude object • Cognition • refers to the beliefs (know) a consumer has about an attitude object.
Hierarchy of Effects High-Involvement Hierarchy: Cognition Affect Behavior Low-Involvement Hierarchy: Cognition Behavior Affect Experiential Hierarchy: Affect Behavior Cognition Know Feel Do Know Do Feel Feel Do Know
Involvement Paradox • The moreimportant the product is to the consumer, the less influence advertising has on attitude • Remember, behavior is determined by perceived value • The less important the product is to consumer, the more impact marketing stimuli (e.g. packaging, jingles) have on behavior
Low-Involvement Learning • Passive Process • Low motivation to process information • Habitual Behavior • Classical Conditioning • Occurs when an unconditioned stimulus (bell) is paired with a conditioned stimulus (meat powder) • Credit cards
Low-Involvement Learning • Passive Process • Operant (Instrumental) Conditioning • Occurs when an individual learns to perform a behavior that produces positive outcomes (reinforcement) and to avoid behaviors that produce negative outcomes (punishment) • Frequency marketing, coupons, etc… • Remember, extinction!
Elaboration Likelihood Model High Involvement Cognitive Belief and Behavior Processing Responses Attitude Change Change CENTRAL ROUTE AD Attention and (source, message) Comprehension PERIPHERAL ROUTE Low Involvement Belief Behavior Attitude Processing Change Change Change
Central Route • Opinions are sensitive to the strength/quality of information presented • Ad providing relevant information or images will lead to more favorable opinions
Peripheral Route • Aad (attitude toward the ad) impacts consumers’ opinion/feelings about a product • Cues devoid of product-relevant information (peripheral cues) shape consumer behavior

The Importance of Emotions • How are affect and cognition related? • Do thoughts precede emotions or emotions precede thoughts? • Independence Hypothesis postulates separate and partially independent systems • Highlights the importance of aesthetics and subjective experience
The Role of Consistency: • Cognitive Consistency Principle: • We value harmony among our thoughts, feelings, and behavior • Attitudes are not formed in a vacuum but are evaluated relative to how they fit with related attitudes
The Role of Consistency: • Theory of Cognitive Dissonance: • When confronted with attitude inconsistency we seek to resolve the dissonance created by changing our attitude or our behavior • Example: • “I know smoking causes cancer” • “I smoke cigarettes” • How do smokers resolve this inconsistency?
The Role of Consistency: • Theory of Cognitive Dissonance: • Explains why consumers’ evaluation of a product tend to increase afterpurchase, and why they seek support for their decisions. • What can marketers do to assist?
The Role of Consistency: • Balance Theory: • Examines relations among triads of related attitudes • Each triad contains a person’s perception an attitude object (Pepsi) , and another person (Britney Spears) or object. • The perceptions can be either favorable (+) or unfavorable (-) • People strive for relational harmony and thus alter their perceptions to create consistency.

Opinion Change • The need for changing consumers’ product opinions commonly occurs for mature products • After years on the market, product image, packaging, or claims may need to be updated
