The Power of Attitudes
• Attitude:– A lasting, general evaluation of people (including
oneself), objects, advertisements, or issues– Anything toward which one has an attitude is
called an object (Ao).
– Attitudes are lasting because they tend to endure over time.

The Functions of Attitudes
• Functional Theory of Attitudes:– Attitudes exist because they serve some function
for the person (i.e., they are determined by a person’s motives)
• Katz’s Attitude Functions– Utilitarian function (Drink coke for the taste of it)– Value-expressive function (Nike: Just Do It)– Ego-defensive function (Right Guard Deodorant)– Knowledge function (Advil and Vioxx)

with regard to an attitude object
• Cognition:– The beliefs a consumer has about an attitude object
• Hierarchy of Effects:– A fixed sequence of steps that occur en route to an
attitude

Attitude Hierarchies
• The Standard Learning Hierarchy:– Consumer approaches a product decision as a
problem-solving process
• The Low-Involvement Hierarchy:– Consumer does not have strong initial preference– Consumer acts on limited knowledge– Consumer forms an evaluation only after product trial
• The Experiential Hierarchy:– Consumers act on the basis of their emotional
reactions

Forming Attitudes
• Not All Attitudes are Created Equal:– Levels of Commitment to an Attitude: The degree of
commitment is related to the level of involvement with an attitude object
• Compliance (Pepsi at the exchange)
• Identification (Clothing, jewelry, shoes, music)
• Internalization (Apple Mac User’s, Newton’s)
– The Consistency Principle:• Principle of Cognitive Consistency: Consumers value
harmony among their thoughts, feelings or behaviors to be consistent with other experiences

The Source
• Source effects: A message will have different effects if communicated by a different source.
• Two important source characteristics:– Credibility and Attractiveness
• Source credibility: A source’s perceived expertise, objectivity, or trustworthiness.
![Page 20: 7 - 1 Chapter 7,8,9 review Attitudes, Attitude Change, and Decision Making By Michael R. Solomon Consumer Behavior Buying, Having, and Being Sixth Edition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649e555503460f94b4bba6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The Source (cont.)
• Building Credibility: Credibility can be enhanced if the source’s qualifications are relevant to the product.
• Hype versus Buzz: The Corporate Paradox– Corporate Paradox: The more involved a company appears
to be in the dissemination of news about its products, the less credible it becomes.
• Buzz: Word of mouth, viewed as authentic
• Hype: Corporate propaganda, viewed as inauthentic
![Page 21: 7 - 1 Chapter 7,8,9 review Attitudes, Attitude Change, and Decision Making By Michael R. Solomon Consumer Behavior Buying, Having, and Being Sixth Edition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649e555503460f94b4bba6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Source Attractiveness in Ads

Star Power: Celebrities as Communications Sources
• Cultural meanings:– Symbolizes important categories such as status,
social class, gender, age, and personality type.– Match up hypothesis: The celebrity’s image and
that of the product are similar– Q rating (Q stands for quality) considers two
factors:• Consumers’ level of familiarity with a name• The number of respondents who indicate that a
person, program, or character is a favorite.
![Page 23: 7 - 1 Chapter 7,8,9 review Attitudes, Attitude Change, and Decision Making By Michael R. Solomon Consumer Behavior Buying, Having, and Being Sixth Edition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649e555503460f94b4bba6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Sending the Message
• Repetition:– Mere Exposure: People tend to like things that are
more familiar to them, even if they are not keen on them initially.
– Habituation: Consumer no longer pays attention to the stimulus because of boredom or fatigue
![Page 25: 7 - 1 Chapter 7,8,9 review Attitudes, Attitude Change, and Decision Making By Michael R. Solomon Consumer Behavior Buying, Having, and Being Sixth Edition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649e555503460f94b4bba6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
7 - 25
Constructing the Argument
• One- Versus Two-Sided Arguments:– Supportive argument: Presents only positive
arguments – Two-sided message: Presents positive and negative
info
• Comparative Advertising:– A strategy in which a message compares two or
more recognized brands and compares them on the basis of attributes.
![Page 26: 7 - 1 Chapter 7,8,9 review Attitudes, Attitude Change, and Decision Making By Michael R. Solomon Consumer Behavior Buying, Having, and Being Sixth Edition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649e555503460f94b4bba6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Types of Message Appeals• Emotional Versus Rational Appeals:
– Choice depends on the nature of the product and the type of relationship that consumers have with it
– Recall of ad content tends to be better for “thinking” rather than “feeling” ads
• Sexual Appeals:– Sex draws attention to the ad but may be counterproductive
unless the product itself is related to sex
• Humorous Appeals:– Distraction: Humorous ads inhibit the consumer from
counterarguing (thinking of reasons not to agree with the message), increasing the likelihood of message acceptance
![Page 27: 7 - 1 Chapter 7,8,9 review Attitudes, Attitude Change, and Decision Making By Michael R. Solomon Consumer Behavior Buying, Having, and Being Sixth Edition.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649e555503460f94b4bba6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

The Source vs. The Message:Sell the Steak or the Sizzle?
• Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM): – Assumes that once a customer receives a message, he or
she begins to process it.
• The Central Route to Persuasion:– The processing route taken under conditions of high
involvement– Cognitive Responses
• The Peripheral Route to Persuasion– The processing route taken under conditions of low
involvement– Peripheral Cues

Support for the ELM
• The ELM has received a lot of research support
• Example: Typical ELM Study– Thought listing– Independent variables:
• Message-processing involvement• Argument strength• Source characteristics
– Findings:• High involvement subjects had more cognitions• High involvement subjects swayed by powerful arguments• Low involvement subjects influenced by attractive sources

Consumers As Problem Solvers
• A consumer purchase is a response to a problem.
• Steps in the decision process:– (1) Problem recognition– (2) Information search– (3) Evaluation of alternatives– (4) Product choice
• Amount of effort put into a purchase decision differs with each purchase.

Problem Recognition
• Problem recognition:– Occurs whenever the consumer sees a significant
difference between his or her current state of affairs and some desired or ideal state
• Need recognition: The quality of the consumer’s actual state moves downward
• Opportunity recognition: The consumer’s ideal state moves upward
– Primary demand: Consumers are encouraged to use a product or service regardless of the brand they choose
– Secondary demand: Consumers are encouraged to use a specific brand – can only occur if primary demand exists

Information Search• Types of Information Search:
– Prepurchase search: Consumer recognizes a need and then searches the marketplace for specific information
– Ongoing search: Browsing for fun or staying up-to-date on what’s happening in the market
• Internal Versus External Search:– Internal search: Scanning our own memory banks
for information about product alternatives– External search: Obtaining product information
from advertisements, friends, or by observing others

Do Consumers Always Search Rationally?
• Consumers don’t necessarily engage in a rational search process
• Brand Switching:– Changing brands even if the current brand satisfies
the consumer’s needs
• Sensory-specific satiety:– A cause of variety seeking when there is relatively
little stimulation in the consumer’s environment
