BEFORE

Gender has a significant


influence on the buying
behavior. It has significant
implications for consumer
markets: men seek more
comfort, are more brand
loyal, more influenced by
communication and ask
and browse less.
The mood intervenes in a
determining way on the

shopping behavior:
moodiness affects on a
poorer attention, less
willing to accept self-help,
and more attention to
products than to the
store.
Main types of shopping:
Exploratory: Products
or stores that are
unknown
Entertainment and
Impulse: Shopping
without experience

3
PREPARATION
The importance of
consumer behavior on
time management: 37%
have no clear purpose in
organizing their time
The shopping perception
on a frequently visited
shopping store is based
on three basic variables:
quality, convenience and
price

4
MOBILITY

The shopping list is an


external memory aid.
When a brand is included
in the list, is often
purchased

5
IN THE STORE

Demographic variables

strongly influence the


time to go shopping,
especially if the consumer
works outside home or
not, if they have young
children or if they are

senior citizens
The most common
shopping is Saturday.
You can target

consumers between
random consumers and
routine consumers (the
former are more frequent,

intensive and not very


keen on promotions)
Changing from a local
store has to do with the

location. Generally
consumers are reluctant
to change store if the new
distance is higher.
Temporary price changes
have no effect on the
mobility

A higher shopping effort


implies a greater satisfaction
and a more favorable
evaluation. The effort that
results in greater satisfaction
leads to repetition.
Protecting the emotional
content: not harass the
customer, provide
information, vendors trained,
wide assortment.
Provide customer space and
get the ideal "trade-off"
between chasing and being
available.
Shopping with no
experience: involved
consumers tend to be more
impulsive.
Other key factors influencing
how fun or boring is the
shopping experience are:
price, assortment, vendors,
weather and atmospherics
The value of atmospherics
more like lack of fun" than
"fun."
The value of others and the
importance of managing the
crowds and queues.

AFTER

IMPLICATIONS

Create effect is not always


under control of the retailer:
queues, broken stock or lack
of change.

Delight is secondary level


emotion characterized by the
combination of primary
emotions. Involves shopping
repeat repetition.

The shopping experience


evokes its value if manages
to reconcile the desired
loyalty and provide
enjoyment and fun.

The fearsome experiences


arise when safety, selfesteem or justice are
infringed from the point of
view of the consumer.

Beyond after there is also a


shopping experience:
Delivery, installation,
maintenance, repair, reverse
logistics.

The value of others and the


importance of managing the
crowds and queues.

Summary of childhood eating behaviour research

WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT HOW
CHILDREN EAT?

WHAT DO WE NEED
TO LEARN?

Biological factors
Children have a preference of sweets and salt
Children fear new and unfamiliar foods
Children are predisposed to learn to prefer energy-dense
foods
Children can effectively self-regulate when provided with
healthful food choices
Parenting factors
Children need approximately 10 exposures to new foods to accept them
Children can learn to prefer new foods as they become increasingly familiar
Children are more likely to eat foods than teachers, parents and peers are eating
Children overeat when they are rewarded for eating
Children desire palatable foods that they can see but are forbidden to have
Are some children biologically vulnerable to difficulty self-regulating food
intake?
Which comes first parental restriction or childhood disinhibition?
Can children self-regulate intake when surrounded by palatable high-calorie
foods?
How can parents encourage healthful eating without being perceived as
withholding?

Positional concerns weight more heavily in the first


domain than in the second
Most of you picked B, where your absolute house size is
smaller, but your relative house size is larger

YOUR HOME

and

Most picked C, choosing greater absolute vacation time


at the expense of lower relative vacation time

In positional goods, the link between context and evaluation is strongest, while in
non-positional goods, the link is weakest
Professor Jos Luis Nueno

31

Housing is positional and vacation non-positional


1. People care more about relative consumption in some domains than in
others
2. Concerns about relative consumption lead to positional arm races or
expenditure races focused on positional goods
3. Positional arms races divert resources from non-positional to positional,
causing large welfare losses
4. For middle class families, the losses from positional arms
races have worsened by rising inequality

Fundamental motive can be activated by external


or internal cues
A fundamental motive can be activated or primed by external or internal
cues indicating threats or opportunities related to a specific evolutionary
challenge

Professor Jos Luis Nueno

*Kenrick et al., 2010a

33

The currently active fundamental motive shapes


preferences
When a fundamental motivational system has been activated, it produces a
specific set of consequences for attention, memory, cognition, and behavior
This coordinated cascade of responses functions to solve the ultimate problem
associated with the currently active system

Self protection (1)


Our ancestors were those that survived,
and to do so they relied on a welldeveloped self-protection system that
persists in modern humans
Our self-protection system is activated by
cues indicating physical danger, from
angry expressions to simply being in the
dark
A self-protection motive spurs people to
seek safety and make safe choices
Activating this motive leads people to
take fewer risks, prefer the status quo
and be particularly averse to losses
* Lerner & Keltner, 2000; Jost & Hunyady, 2005; Li et al., 2012

18

08/10/2014

Self protection (2)


While some products and services function to directly fulfill a self-protection
need, fundamental motives such as self-protection may influence many
aspects of consumer behavior
For instance, activating a self-protection motive might lead people to value
brands and product features associated with safety, to prefer familiar and
safe-minded brands (such as Volvo cars) over less familiar brands, or over
brands associated with features unrelated to safety, such as value, variety,
novelty, efficiency, luxury, or excitement

Professor Jos Luis Nueno

37

Disease avoidance
One result of the ever-present pathogen threat has been the evolution of a biological
immune system to fight off infection
A second has been the evolution of a
psychological behavioral immune
system that helps us avoid infection in
the first through our behaviors
Disease avoidance motive spurs people
to seek familiar foods and avoid those of
foreign origin, unless those foods are
sealed in airtight packaging
Merely seeing an ad for a pharmacy can
activate this motive, increasing peoples
willingness to pay for products that are
brand new rather than used

Summary of childhood obesity stigma research

WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT THE STIGMA
OF CHILDHOOD
OBESITY?

No one is immune from negative attitudes towards obese children


Children as young as 3 years old hold negative attitudes about obese peers
Childrens negative attitudes become stronger with age
Teachers and college admission officers exhibit negative attitudes towards obese students
Parents exhibit negative views of obese children in both subtle and behavioral ways
The impact of stigmatization is profound
Childhood obesity is often linked to lower self-steem and body steem
Childhood obesity is linked to higher rates of depression
Obese children blame themselves for their weight and others negative reactions to them
Parents also experience stigma regarding their inability to address their childs weight

WHAT DO WE NEED
TO LEARN?

How can children learn to accept peers of all sizes and shapes?
How can we disentangle concern over medical issues from character
stereotypes?
How can parents accept their obese children, including their bodies?
How can parents support their obese children in coping with social stigma?

Professor Jos Luis Nueno

41

Affiliation: the affiliation system is activated by cues


of old friends, potential new friends, or being part of
a group
This motive is primed
when an old college
roommate sends you a
Christmas card
When youre thinking
about inviting a neighbor
for dinner, or when your
coworker picks up the tab
for lunch
When friendships are
threatened, such as when
a person is socially
rejected
Professor Jos Luis Nueno

42

21

08/10/2014

Affiliation: peoples relationships with products and


consumer brands can sometimes mimic the
relationships they have with friends
People often purchase material possessions because they are lonely
They sometimes treat those possessions as though they were people

* Lastovicka & Sirianni, 2011; Epley, Waytz, Akalis, & Cacioppo, 2008
Professor Jos Luis Nueno

43

Affiliation: people are more likely to engage with


brands they perceive as sincere

*Havas Media Groups 2013 Meaningful Brands


Professor Jos Luis Nueno

44

22

08/10/2014

Affiliation: when choosing products, an affiliation


motive might especially lead people to seek those
brands and styles that help them fit in
Advertising a product during a program that elicits an affiliation motive versus
one that elicits a status motive
Viewers watching the affiliation program
might be attracted to products that help
them fit in with peers, viewers watching
the status program might instead seek
products that help them be a step above
their peers

Professor Jos Luis Nueno

45

Status: a status motive spurs people to behave in ways


that will lead them to be respected and admired. As in
other animals, one route to achieving status for humans is
through dominance overpowering others and forcing
deference
Activating a status motive in fact increases aggressive behavior, and leads
people to seek physically larger and more imposing products
A more common route human beings use to attain and maintain status is
through prestige freely conferred deference. Accordingly, a status motive
leads people to pay more for luxurious and prestigious goods
Goods that are to be displayed to others

* Griskevicius, Tybur et al., 2009; Dubois, Rucker, & Galinsky, 2012; Henrich & Gil-White, 2001; Cheng et al.; Ivanic, Overbeck, & Nunes, 2011; Rucker & Galinsky, 2008; Berger & Ward, 2010; Han, Nunes,
& Drze, 2010
Professor Jos Luis Nueno

46

23

08/10/2014

Status: when prestigious goods are unattainable, a


status motive can lead people to purchase
counterfeit products
Once status has been obtained, people exhibit behavior designed to preserve
their status, such as by prioritizing personal goals over group goals

* Maner, Gailliot, Butz, & Peruche, 2007; Maner & Mead, 2011
Professor Jos Luis Nueno

47

Status
A status motive can lead people to choose inferior, but environmentallybeneficial, green products because doing so can enhance peoples prosocial
reputations
Activating status might lead people to become less price sensitive in general.
Because being cheap is generally associated with lower status, increased
concern about status might lead people to be less concerned about price
A status motive might also alter judgment and decision biases

I am not like you


As consumers mature, the other people that they are sending signals to also
change
Newer consumers prefer more ostentatious styles and better-known brands,
as they need to be recognised by/ distance themselves from their relatively
unsophisticated peers
More sophisticated consumers shift to less flamboyant styles and niche
brands, as they are signalling to equally sophisticated peers and want to stand
apart from the luxury mass
While new demand tends to zero in on a few mega-brands, sophisticated
demand tends to stay fragmented, as consumers are constantly on the lookout
for the next cool thing
Professor Jos Luis Nueno

49

Luxury goods is about being cool by having


something others don't have
For much of the 20th century, being cool meant owning the newest technological
innovations - the first cars, the first kitchen appliances, the first plastic furniture, the
most modern architecture, the first quartz watches
When mass production made all these available to the wider public, the pendulum
started to swing back
Standard products - and with them the ideas of modernity, technology and industry
ceased being cool in the 60s and 70s
A new idea of cool took hold: the idea of craftsmanship, heritage and customisation.
This was not "real" craftsmanship as people had known it in centuries gone by, rather
craftsmanship underpinned by industry and technology - the fashion designers reigning
over the apparel industry; the ancient art of watchmaking served by the most modern
manufacturing wizardry; the old trunk makers reborn as the masters of handbags and
small leather goods

Income inequality is luxurys friend


Luxury expenditure and income inequality grow hand in hand, as in the
example of luxury cars in the USA in the past 50 years
When enforced egalitarianism is removed like in the case of Russia and China
with the fall of communism a surge in luxury consumption is to be expected
In egalitarian societies where actual differences between one another are
small and where the prevailing culture leads people to conform the function
of signalling differences by owning expensive objects is far less useful
In Scandinavia, for example, luxury expenditure as a percentage of GDP is
materially lower than in Italy or France
Professor Jos Luis Nueno

From monolithic demand to a mosaic of demand


The vast flow of new consumers in the past 20 years aspirational
consumers in the West and the newly rich in EMs has been a major support
for mega-brands over smaller rivals
While there was a vast difference in spending power between western
aspirational consumers and EM early luxury adopters (in favour of the latter),
their psychology, sophistication and behaviour could be assumed to be similar
No more: early adopters are sophisticating fast, creating a much more
complex luxury demand world than before

The mate acquisition system is triggered by the presence


of real or imagined members of the opposite-sex (for
heterosexuals, at least). This motive can be stimulated by
sexy or romantic ads, movies, or television shows
When this motive
is activated,
people are
attuned to
information about
the desirability of
others as romantic
partners and their
own desirability
Professor Jos Luis Nueno

59

Mating
Acquisition motive leads people to want to be noticed. But while both men and women
want to stand out to acquire a mate, they often seek to draw attention to themselves
in different ways
For men, this motives increases willingness to spend on luxury products. Men exposed
to mating cues pay more attention to status goods and choose more conspicuous and
expensive brands
Men in this state also become more creative, charitable, manipulative, socially
dominant, heroic, and independent
When asked to indicate whether they prefer Mercedes-Benz or BMW cars, this motive
led men to choose the opposite brand from what the majority of others prefer,
regardless of which brand it was
* Griskevicius et al., 2007; Janssens et al., 2011; Sundie et al., 2011; Griskevicius, Cialdini, & Kenrick, 2006; Iredale, Van Vugt, & Dunbar, 2008; Ackerman, Griskevicius, & Li,

Mating: numerous consumer goods and services


are designed to fulfill peoples mate acquisition
need
The billion-dollar dating website industry that helps people get a date
One of the other multi-billion industries that provide snazzy duds, cosmetics, cologne,
facials creams, grooming, and gym memberships to make them look good for those
dates
More products and services are related to mate acquisition in less obvious ways,
including soft drinks, hard drinks, cars, fashion, music, art, and charitable behavior
More broadly, this motive might have more general influences on consumer tendencies,
such as altering variety-seeking or novelty-seeking. For example, a mate acquisition
motive might increase preference for variety and novelty
Preference for variety and novelty might be decreased by a different mating-related
fundamental motive

Professor Jos Luis Nueno

61

Mate retention motivation is activated by cues that


celebrate or threaten a long-term relationship, such as
reminiscing about the relationship, noticing that an
anniversary is coming up, or catching a potential rival
eyeing your partner
This motive spurs people to behave in ways to ensure the solidarity and
functioning of their long-term romantic
relationships
It leads people to seek preservation
of their current relationships by
showing increased love and care for
their current partner
People motivated to retain their mate
also tend to devalue alternative
potential romantic partners

The kin care system is not what leads us to have children.


Instead, a kin care motive spurs people to behave in ways
to ensure that individuals in need receive proper care and

The kin care system facilitates
nurturing behavior
Motivating a willingness to sacrifice
oneself to help others, especially if
those others are ones relatives
It motivates people to provide those in
need with social support, physical
protection, and financial support
