1- Tricomponent ModelThe three components of attitude are consistent. This means that a change in one attitude component tends to produce related changes in the other components.
Marketing mangers find it difficult to influence the consumer’s behavior (conation) directly to buy the product, instead, they influence the behavior indirectly by providing information, music or other stimuli that influence a belief (cognition) or feeling (affect) about the product.

2- Multiattribute Attitude Models
• The attitude-toward-object model
• The attitude-toward-behavior model
• Theory-of-reasoned-action model
• Attitude is function of the presence of certain beliefs or attributes with respect to an object.
• Consumers will like a brand or product that has an adequate level of attributes that the consumer thinks are important.
• Example: if you are buying a home, there is a list of attributes that the home must have – 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, air conditioning, and a back yard. With this model, an attitude is positive for the house that has the most of these attributes.

![Page 25: Consumer Attitude : Formation and Change](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061614/568148b5550346895db5cc42/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

• Utilitarian function is how the product is useful to us. A marketer might want to create a more consumer positive attitude toward a brand by showing utilities the brand can do.
• ego-defensive function would show how the product would make them feel more secure and confident (e.g. cosmetics that defense women’s appearance).
• value-expressive function would more positively reflect the consumer’s values or lifestyle.
• knowledge function would satisfy the consumer’s “need to know” and help them understand more.
It is important for marketers to realize that they might have to combine functions because different customers are motivated to purchase their products for different reasons. Someone might buy a product because it tastes good and fills them up (utilitarian), while another thinks it is low fat and will make them healthy and therefore look better (ego-defensive).

3- Altering Components of the Multiattribute Model
– Changing consumer’s evaluation of attributes. Example: Perhaps the consumer thinks that the product fine to be inexpensive, but a marketer might be able to point out that it is often worth paying a bit more for better quality.
– Changing brand beliefs. Example: Maybe a consumer thinks a brand is very expensive when in fact it is less expensive than several other brands.
– Adding an attribute. Example: Who thought chewiness was an attribute that could even exist for a vitamin until Gummy Vites came along?
– Changing the overall brand rating, not a single attribute of it. Example: using statements like: “ the one all others try to imitate” or “ the largest selling brand”.
