Pavlovian Theory
Pavlovian theory is a learning procedure that involves pairing a stimulus with a conditioned response.
In the famous experiments that Ivan Pavlov conducted with his dogs, Pavlov found that objects or events could trigger a
conditioned response. The experiments began with Pavlov demonstrating how the presence of a bowl of dog food (stimulus)
would trigger an unconditioned response (salivation). But Pavlov noticed that the dogs started to associate his lab assistant with
food, creating a learned and conditioned response. This was an important scientific discovery.
Pavlov’s theory later developed into classical conditioning, which refers to learning that associates an unconditioned
stimulus that already results in a response (such as a reflex) with a new, conditioned stimulus. As a result, the new stimulus
brings about the same response.
A simple application of Pavlovian theory is the response that some consumers have when they hear the word “sale.” It can
generate an urge to shop, even if people have no specific need at the time.
The theory can also work with specific brands. A consumer may start associating a brand name or product with a certain
perception after repeated marketing efforts and/or experience with the brand or product. For instance, many people associate
the brand name Neutrogena with purity and clear skin.

Motivation-Need Theory
Abraham Maslow put forward his hierarchy of needs in 1943, sending ripple effects through the entire psychological
community. Under his theory, people act to fulfill their needs based on a five-part priority system. The needs include, in order of
importance: physiological (survival), safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization.
Business schools and marketing classes adapted Maslow’s theories to explain the need to tailor marketing messages to
consumers in a particular way. Successful marketing campaigns must not only bring awareness to a product but also establish its
place somewhere on the hierarchy of needs. Consumers are motivated to prioritize purchases toward the base of the hierarchy,
so it is vital that companies draft a message that instills a sense of need or urgency in consumers.

Consumers move to the decision-making stage after a period of thought, choosing to make a purchase based on rational
insight. Consumers are affected in the decision-making phase by process variables and external influences, including how the
consumer envisions his or herself after making the purchase.
And all individuals are divided into two categories: some people are more focus on the positive results of things, and they tend
to achieve positive results. These people performed to be the marching type of regulatory focus and they hope the result is
expressed by the maximization goal. The other people focus more on the negative consequences of things, and they tend to
avoid negative consequences; the performance of them is prevention focus and they hope results are to minimize target.
Differences of customer’s regulatory focus can lead to the differences of thinking mode. Individuals of the marching type of
regulatory focus are more likely to focus on positive comment, and people of the preventive adjusting focus tend to pay more
attention to negative information (QiQingBo, 2008; Cao Xingmin, 2012)[7].
For the double mixed information, the individual of the marching type of regulatory more easily focus on positive information
than people of the preventive adjusting focus. Consumers’ judges on the matching degree of adjusting focus can affect whether
the online reviews information will hinder or promote consumers’ purchase decisions. Therefore, this paper argues that as for
the promoted orientation of the individual, positive online reviews information affects the impulsive purchase intention while
for individual prevention orientation, negative comments online information negative impact impulse purchase intention. But to
promoted individual orientation, negative information online reviews and impulsive purchase intention, no significant
relationship between for prevention of directional individual positive online reviews information with no significant relationship
between compulsive purchase behavior, but also for double mixed information, promote the orientation of the individual's
impulsive purchase intention is stronger than individual prevention orientation.
