PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to explore the fundamentals of
consumer behavior. Consumer behavior involves understanding
the set of decisions (what, whether, why, when, how, where,
how much, and how often) that an individual or group of
consumers makes over time about the acquisition, use, or
disposition of goods, services, ideas, or other offerings. The
psychological core exerts considerable influence on consumer
behavior. A consumer‘s motivation, ability, and opportunity
affect their decisions and influence what a person is exposed to,
what they pay attention to, and what they perceive and
comprehend. These factors also affect how consumers
categorize and interpret information, how they form and
retrieve memories, and how they form and change attitudes.
Each aspect of the psychological core has a bearing on the
consumer decision-making process, which involves (1) problem
recognition, (2) information search, (3) judgments and decision
making, and (4) evaluating satisfaction with the decision.

, Instructor Manual: Chapter 1: Understanding Consumer Behavior
Consumer behavior is affected by the consumer‘s culture and
by the typical or expected behaviors, norms, and ideas of a
particular group. Consumers belong to a number of groups,
share their cultural values and beliefs, and use their symbols to
communicate group membership. Household and social class
influences are involved in consumer behavior, as are each
individual‘s values, personality, and lifestyles. Consumer
behavior can be symbolic and express an individual‘s identity. It
is also indicative of how quickly an offering spreads throughout
a market. Further, ethics and social responsibility play a role in
consumer behavior.
Marketers study consumer behavior to gain insights that will
lead to more effective marketing strategies and tactics. Ethicists
and advocacy groups are keenly interested in consumer
behavior, as are public policy makers and regulators who want
to protect consumers from unsafe or inappropriate offerings.
Consumers and society can both benefit as marketers learn to
make products more user-friendly and to show concern for the
environment. Finally, studying consumer behavior helps
marketers understand how to segment markets and how to
