test 3 Flashcards
subset of top-of-mind brands evaluated when making a choice
consideration set
equality of preferences towards brands or products in set
preference dispersion
that which helps us discriminate among objects
diagnostic info
attribute that is top of the mind or more important
salient attribute
attribute that is both salient and diagnostic
attribute determinance
when consumer is actively evaluating a brand as he views an ad for it
online processing
tendency to recall info that reinforces or confirms our over all beliefs rather than contradicting them, thereby making our judgement or decision more positive than it should be
confirmation bias
recall of one attribute inhibiting recall of another
inhibition
collecting info from outside sources
external search
search for info that aids specific acquisition
prepurchase search
search that occurs regularly regardless of whether the consumer is making a choice
ongoing search
contact w independent sources of info, such as books, mags, websites
independent search
using samples or service/product trials
experiential search
consumers acquire all needed info on one brand before moving on to next
searching by brand
consumers compare brands in terms of one attribute at a time, such as by price
searching by attribute
eval of an object or estimate of likelihood of an outcome or event
judgement
making a selection among options or courses of action
decision making
judging how likely it is that something will occur
estimation of likelihood
evaluating the desirability of something
judgement of goodness/badness
starting with an initial eval and adjusting it with additional info
anchoring and adjustment process
imagining an event in order to make a judgement
imagery
categorizing spending and saving decisions into accounts mentally designated for specific consumption transactions, goals, or situations
mental accounting
intensity of positive or negative feelings associated with each mental account for saving or spending
emotional accounting
options that are unacceptable when making a decision
inept set
options toward which consumers are indifferent
inept set
when the addition of an inferior brand to a consideration set increases the attractiveness of the dominant brand
attraction effect
initial reference point or anchor in the decision process
decision framing
process by which consumers combine items of info about attributes to reach a decision
cognitive decision making model
process by which consumers base their decision on feelings and emotions
affective decision making model
mental cost-benefit analysis in which negative features can be compensated for by positive ones
compensatory model
simple decision model in which negative info leads to a rejection of the option
noncompensatory model
for each attribute, the point at which a brand is rejected with a noncompensatory model
cutoff level
evaluating one brand at a time
brand processing
type of brand based compensatory model
multiattribute expectancy value model
noncompensatory model that sets min cutoffs to reject bad options
conjunctive model
noncompensatory model that sets acceptable cutoffs to find options that are good
disjunctive model
comparing brands one attribute at a time
attribute processing
compensatory model in which brands are compared by attribute, two at a time
additive difference model
noncompensatory method that compares brands by attributes, one at a time, in order of importance
lexicographic model
similar to lexicographic but adds notion of acceptable cutoffs
elimination by aspects model
when ownership increases value of an item
endowment effect
prediction of how you will feel in the future
affective forecasting
process of making a decision about products or services of different categories
noncomparable decision
making a noncomparable choice based on an overall eval
alternative based strategy
making noncomparable choice by making abstract reps of comparable attributes
attribute based strategy
options that are extreme on some attributes are less attractive than those with moderate levels of attributes
extremeness aversion
when brand gains share because its intermediate rather than extreme option
compromise effect
picking brand bc scores equally well on certain attributes rather than faring unequally on these attributes
attribute balancing
how the info is processed beyond the content of decision
metacognitive experiences
making judgement by comparing stimulus with category prototype or exemplar, comparing new laundry detergent with tide
representativeness heuristic
basing judgments on events that are easier to recall
availability heuristic
how often an event really occurs on average
base-rate info
