Attitudes, Intentions, and Behavior II MKT 750 Dr. West
Agenda • Discuss the Tivo Case • More on Attitudes • Hierarchy of Effects • ELM • The role of consistency • FCB Grid
Evaluation of Product Attributes Overall Product Evaluation Intention to Buy Brand Beliefs Behavior Theory of Reasoned Action:AMulti-Attribute Model (ei) (bi) (Ao) (BI) (B) Social Norms n Ao = S bi ei + SN(Fishbein & Azjen) i =1
Components of Attitudes • 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.
The rest of the story… • What’s missing from Fishbein’s “Theory of Reasoned Action” • Attitudes = F(Beliefs, Evaluations, Social Norms) • Where do our attitudes come from? • Friends and family • Personal experience • Observation • Media & Advertising
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
Elaboration Likelihood Model • Cognitive responses occur while reading, viewing, or listening to an ad. • Message related thoughts • Supporting arguments and Counterarguments • Source-oriented thoughts • Source Bolstering and Source Derogation • Ad execution thoughts • Reactions or feelings toward the ad
Elaboration Likelihood Model • The frequency and nature of responses determine whether attitude change has occurred
Persuasive Communication Temporary attitude shift • Motivated to Process? • Involvement • Relevance, etc. Yes No • Peripheral cue present? • Source characteristics • Visual imagery • Executional elements Yes No • Ability to Process? • Issue familiarity • Arousal, etc. Yes No Nature of Cognitive Processing Mostly Mostly Mostly Favorable Unfavorable Neutral Thoughts Thoughts Thoughts Retain Initial attitude • Cognitive Structure Change • New cognitions adopted • Different responses No Elaboration Likelihood Model Yes Yes Persuasion: enduring positive attitude change Boomerang: enduring negative attitude change
Persuasive Communication • Elaboration Likelihood Model: • Central Route to Persuasion • Opinions are sensitive to the strength/quality of information presented • Ad providing relevant information or images will lead to more favorable opinions • Motivated to Process? • Involvement • Relevance, etc. Yes • Ability to Process? • Issue familiarity • Arousal, etc. Yes Nature of Cognitive Processing Mostly Mostly Mostly Favorable Unfavorable Neutral Thoughts Thoughts Thoughts • Cognitive Structure Change • New cognitions adopted • Different responses Yes Yes Persuasion: enduring positive attitude change Boomerang: enduring negative attitude change
Persuasive Communication Temporary attitude shift • Motivated to Process? • Involvement • Relevance, etc. Yes No • Peripheral cue present? • Source characteristics • Visual imagery • Executional elements Yes No • Ability to Process? • Issue familiarity • Arousal, etc. No • Elaboration Likelihood Model: • Peripheral Route to Persuasion • Aad (attitude toward the ad) impacts consumers’ opinion/feelings about a product • Cues devoid of product-relevant information (peripheral cues) shape consumer behavior Retain Initial attitude
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?

Involvement Paradox • The moreimportant the product is to the consumer, the less influence advertising has on attitude • The less important the product is to consumer, the more impact marketing stimuli (e.g. packaging, jingles) have on behavior
