What Are Attitudes?
• The attitude “object”
• Attitudes are a learned predisposition.
Predisposition means you have
something in your mind; a thought
• Attitudes have consistency
• Attitudes occur within a situation

Four functions of attitude
• Utilitarian-attitude object serves some utility eg.I like Imran
khan since I believe he will reduce taxes
• 2)Value Expressive- the attitude object expresses ones values-
e.g.I like body shop because the company doesn’t use animal
testing
• 3)Knowledge- attitude object reduces uncertainty and gives
us comot of knowing e.g.I love Time because it keeps me
updated with the stars of film industry
• 4)Ego-Defensive- attitude object helps us protect our ego-
e.g.I don’t like that student because he misbehaved with me

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Here is an outline of the topics for Chapter Eight.
  • #6 We have attitudes toward many things – to people, products, advertisements, ideas, and more. For the most part, these attitudes have been learned and guide our behavior toward the object. This web link brings you to one of many sites that helps measure attitudes via online surveys.
  • #7 It is important to understand these four concepts. The first is that we must clearly define the object which we are discussing or measuring the attitude toward. Is it a product category, a specific brand, or a particular model? The second is the agreement among researchers that attitudes are learned, either through direct experience or from others. Attitudes are consistent, they are not necessarily permanent and can change over time. We all know how our attitude can be affected by a situation – think about the times you have to eat foods that are not necessarily your favorite but they are what is available or what you are being served at a friend’s house.
  • #9 Tri component
  • #10 Affect-feelings nvolve- one Congition- the thought processes The intention to buy-conation- the intention will lead to buying behaviour- THE INTENTION TO BUY
  • #11 What comes first?? Imp question. 1)Cognition first, then affect, then conation 1Cognition—affect—conation Think---feel—intention to act Or affection—cognition—conation Or conation—cognition—affect Act –think --- feel
  • #16 These are models that attempt to understand the relationships between attitude and behavior. They will be explained in more detail on the following slides.
  • #17 The tricomponent attitude model has three components, as seen on this figure – the cognitive, affective, and conative components. Each of these will be explained in more detail in the slides that follow.
  • #18 The cognitive component is what you know or think about an object. This can be formed through direct experience or what you learn from others. The knowledge you form becomes a belief.
  • #19 How you feel about a brand, the emotions you have toward it, constitutes the affective component of the model. These feelings often tend to be overall good or bad feelings.
  • #20 The conative component describes the likelihood that you will do something in regard to the object. One of the most important is your intention to buy a certain object.
  • #21 You probably have an overall positive or negative feeling toward your university. Try to break this affective component down a bit more – what do you like and not like? You can now look to the cognitive to determine what beliefs you have about these different parts of your university. Finally, how does this influence what you do? Will you come back for a graduate degree? Recommend your little brother or sister attend? Send your children here? Donate money as an alumnus?
  • #22 Just as the name implies, these are models that breakdown overall attitude into the attributes or beliefs which form an overall opinion. There are several of these models, as you will see on the next few slides.
  • #23 According to the attitude-toward-object model, consumers will like a brand or product that has an adequate level of attributes that the consumer thinks are positive. For 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.
  • #24 Instead of asking people what product they like and have positive attitudes toward, the attitude-toward-behavior model is based on how positive someone's attitude is toward acting a certain way, for instance purchasing a certain brand. The question is now how likely are you to purchase brand X rather than how highly do you rate brand X.
  • #25 This is a model that looks at people’s attitudes toward purchasing online. On the lefthand side are the consumer characteristics that tend to impact a person’s attitude toward purchasing online. Their attitude was broken down further by how they view nine benefits of online shopping, including effectiveness, convenience, information, safety, service, delivery speed, web design, selection, and familiarity with company name. In addition, the attitude leads to how a consumer will rate an online shopping experience.
  • #26 Like other models, the theory of reasoned action has the three components, cognitive (think), affective (feel), and conative (do). In this model, we also need to understand subjective norms or how a consumer is influenced by others.
  • #27 This is a figure of the theory of reasoned action. The subjective norms that are distinctive to this model are the two lower blocks on the right. A consumer has beliefs about what others think they should do and also have differing levels of how likely they will follow those beliefs, also known as their motivation to comply with the referents. This subjective norm is now combined with the consumer’s personal attitude toward a behavior to form an intention to perform a behavior. This intention may or may not lead to the actual behavior. Certain groups are very influenced by the motivation to comply with people in their group. This web link brings you to cosmogirl.com. This site for younger female teens is loaded with information to supply motivation – see if you can identify three on the homepage alone.
  • #28 This will lead you to think about the subjective norm and your attitude toward the behavior.
  • #29 The theory of trying to consume addresses the fact that many people may want to purchase but in many cases they cannot. This may occur for personal reasons, such as not having enough money, or environmental reasons, such as not being able to go to a particular store.
  • #30 There are many reasons why people do not consume even if they want to purchase a product. Table 8.7 in the text gives examples of both personal and environment impediments. How many times have these reasons stopped you from purchasing? What can marketers do to remove these impediments?
  • #31 The attitude-toward-the-ad model helps us understand how advertising impacts attitudes. The model is more thoroughly diagramed on the next slide.
  • #32 Here we see that everything begins with exposure to the ad. After this exposure, the consumer has feelings (affect) and thoughts (cognition) regarding the ad. This forms an attitude which works with beliefs about the brand to help form an attitude toward the brand.
  • #33 Attitudes are formed through learning. Recalling the concepts of classical and operant conditioning from earlier chapters, we recall that two stimuli can be paired or linked together to form a learned response. In addition, consumers can learn attitudes from rewards or outcomes from behavior. If attitudes are learned, then it is through experiences that this learning occurs. This can be from personal experience or from experiences with friends or exposure to marketing influences. Another topic studied in an earlier chapter comes into play with attitude formation. This is the consumer’s need for cognition. People will form attitudes based on the information that best suits them, information for the high need for cognition consumer, and images and spokespeople for the low need for cognition.
  • #39 Here are five strategies for attitude change. If you think about it, attitude change and formation are not all that different. They are both learned, they are both influenced by personal experience, and personality affects both of them.
  • #40 Changing the basic motivational function means to change the basic need that a consumer is trying to fulfill. Utilitarian function is how the product is useful to us. A marketer might want to create a more positive attitude toward a brand by showing all it can do. An ego-defensive function would show how the product would make them feel more secure and confident. A value-expressive function would more positively reflect the consumer’s values, lifestyle, and outlook. Finally, the knowledge function would satisfy the consumer’s “need to know” and help them understand more about the world around them. 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).
  • #47 Marketers often associate their products with certain not-for-profit groups. Many of us buy products because of this association. For some products, we are aware of this association but still do not purchase.
  • #50 If we think analytically about a multiattribute model, we realize there are many different attributes that make up an overall attitude. As marketers, we can change the way the consumer evaluates a certain attribute. Perhaps the consumer thinks inexpensive is fine for a product, but a marketer might be able to point out that it is often worth paying a bit more for better quality. A marketer can also change the way consumers believe a brand rates on a certain attribute. Maybe a consumer thinks a brand is very expensive when in fact it is less expensive then several other brands. There may be an attribute that does not even exist. Who thought chewiness was an attribute that could even exist for a vitamin until Gummy Vites came along? Finally, we can step away from looking individually at the attribute and attempt to change the consumer’s overall assessment of the brand. We can do any of these attitude change strategies by changing beliefs of our own product or our competitor's product.
  • #59 The ELM is a much more global view of attitude change than the models reviewed on the previous slide. A more detailed description is provided in a diagram on the next slide.
  • #60 On the left-hand side of the model, we see central variables on the top and peripheral variables on the bottom. Central variables, which lead to the central route, will be effective on highly-motivated consumers. They will do the thinking necessary to understand the information they are presented. Peripheral variables, including music, spokespeople, and bright packaging, work on lower-involvement consumers. Together, or alone, they create an attitude change that results in a certain behavior.
  • #61 Up to this point, we have always had an attitude change, which led to a behavior. It is now time to consumer a behavior that might change attitude. There are two main theories that address this difference in sequencing. The cognitive dissonance theory occurs after the consumer has done something, let’s say purchase a product or accepted admission to a college. They begin to create an attitude around their behavior which is often based on dissonance or discomfort. Attribution theory is related to the question we have after a behavior of “Why did I do that?” This process of making inferences about behavior can lead to attitude formation and change.
  • #62 Here are some interesting issues in attribution theory. Self-perception theory is the inferences or judgment as to the causes of your behavior. Did something happen, like you won an award, because you were really good, because the competition was weak, or because the judges were rushed? We are constantly examining our behavior and often try to stay consistent. This is considered the foot-in-the-door technique, the fact that if you say yes to something, you will probably say yes to a similar act later on to remain consistent in your behavior. We have attribution toward others and always ask ourselves “why” about other’s acts. We question their motives. Would you believe we also have attribution toward things? Do you sometimes ask yourself, “Why do I like this software or that movie so much?” Over time, we like to test our attributions to see if they are correct. We may decide that if something happens when we use this product, it has distinctiveness. We also see if we have the same reaction to behavior over time, in different situations (modality), and if others agree. There are thousands of dating services online. This web link goes to therightstuff.com, a dating service for Ivy-league graduates only. People have a certain attribution toward others who attend the same colleges or group of colleges as themselves. Because they had this behavior (attended an Ivy League school) they must be like me.
