4. Motivation as a Psychological Force

driving force within
individuals that impels
them to action.

concept. Marketers do
not create needs but
can make consumers
aware of needs.

their:
– Personal experiences
– Physical capacity
– Prevailing cultural norms and values
– Goal’s accessibility in the physical and social
environment

yourself in the past year?

the past year?
• In what situations are these two related?
• How were these goals selected? Was it personal
experiences, physical capacity, or prevailing cultural
norms and values?
12

13. Rational versus Emotional Motives
• Rationality implies that consumers select
goals based on totally objective criteria, such
as size, weight, price, or miles per gallon
• Emotional motives imply the selection of
goals according to personal or subjective
criteria
13
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Four Slide
14. Researches
• A recent study found that emotions arising from buying or
not buying, when facing an unintended purchase, impacts
the impressions of advertising viewed subsequently- first
kind preferred happiness appeals later preferred pride
appeals.
• Providing unique emotional experiences to customers is
crucial in keeping customers of services coming back and
recommending services to others.

• “Blissful Ignorance Effect”

17. The Dynamics of Motivation
• Needs are never fully satisfied
• New needs emerge as old needs are satisfied
• People who achieve their goals set new and
higher goals for themselves
17
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Four Slide
18. Substitute Goals
• Are used when a consumer cannot attain a
specific goal he/she anticipates will satisfy a
need
• The substitute goal will dispel tension
• Substitute goals may actually replace the
primary goal over time
18

19. Frustration
• Failure to achieve a goal may result in
frustration.
• Some adapt; others adopt defense
mechanisms to protect their ego.

Chapter Four Slide
Construct Items
Aggression In response to frustration, individuals may resort to aggressive behavior
in attempting to protect their self-esteem. The tennis pro
who slams his tennis racket to the ground when disappointed with
his game or the baseball player who physically intimidates an umpire
for his call are examples of such conduct. So are consumer
boycotts of companies or stores.
Rationalization People sometimes resolve frustration by inventing plausible reasons
for being unable to attain their goals (e.g., not having enough
time to practice) or deciding that the goal is not really worth pursuing
(e.g., how important is it to achieve a high bowling score?).
Regression An individual may react to a frustrating situation with childish or
immature behavior. A shopper attending a bargain sale, for example,
may fight over merchandise and even rip a garment that another
shopper will not relinquish rather than allow the other
person to have it.
Withdrawal Frustration may be resolved by simply withdrawing from the situation.
For instance, a person who has difficulty achieving officer
status in an organization may decide he can use his time more
constructively in other activities and simply quit that organization.

24. Philosophies Concerned with
Arousal of Motives
• Behaviorist School
– Behavior is response to stimulus
– Elements of conscious thoughts are to be ignored
– Consumer does not act, but reacts
• Cognitive School
– Behavior is directed at goal achievement
– Needs and past experiences are reasoned, categorized,
and transformed into attitudes and beliefs that acts as
predispositions focused on helping the individual satisfy a
particular need

didn’t see me and

large group and be
more visible.
