willingness to expend energy to
reach a goal
Drive theory: biological needs that
produce unpleasant states of
arousal (e.g., hunger)
Expectancy theory: behaviour is
pulled by expectations of achieving
desirable outcomes

Biogenic Needs
Psychogenic Needs
Utilitarian Needs
Hedonic Needs

79. Motivational Conflicts

consumer will:
 Approach positive goal
 Avoid negative goal

consequences of drug
addiction for those
tempted to start

of desired product

undesirable alternatives

88. Rational versus Emotional
Motives
 Rationality implies that consumers select goals based

or miles per gallon
 Emotional motives imply the selection of goals
according to personal or subjective criteria

for themselves

92. Defense Mechanisms- Table 4.2 (excerpt)
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.
Rationaliza People sometimes resolve frustration by inventing
tion 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
92 score?).
