 Powerful underlying motives can
influence consumer behaviour.
 Products and services that
relate, or might relate, to
attraction of the opposite sex, to
personal adornment, to status or
self-esteem, to power, to death, to
fears, or to social taboos are all
likely candidates for motivational
research
 Why do women tend to
increase their expenditures on
clothing and personal
adornment products as they
approach the age of 50 to 55?
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
 categorizes human needs into a pyramid
 a person's lower-level needs are met before higher level needs
 Different priorities exist at each level in terms of product benefits
a consumer is looking for.
 Many products will satisfy
needs at all levels
Abraham Maslow
Different product benefits will satisfy different levels of need.
Assume a mother is shopping for a new pair of trainers with her 5year old daughter. What features/benefits satisfy each level? SelfActualization/self fulfilment
 Ego/Esteem
 Belongingness/Social
 Safety
 Physiological
Is there one level of need that is
satisfied more than the others?
Needs and Goals
 Needs are universal
When people move to satisfy a need (i.e. they are
motivated) – the satisfaction of the need becomes a goal
 Between the need and the goal there exists a tension
The degree of urgency to fill that goal results in a drive
NEED
DRIVE
GOAL
 Needs can be met in a variety of ways
 The goals are culturally and personally determined
Want: the particular form of consumption used to satisfy a
need.

Cognitive Dissonance
Cognitive Dissonance
 inconsistency between beliefs one holds or between one’s
beliefs and actions.
 Consumers are motivated to reduce dissonance or
tension by either changing their actions or their beliefs.
 Almost all major purchases result in cognitive
dissonance, also known as buyer's remorse.
 Often consumers are faced with two or more
alternatives. Choosing one may leave us wondering if we
should have purchased the other.
Marketer's goal?
to eliminate cognitive dissonance
You've spent months shopping for a new car, comparing
features and narrowing down the alternatives. Finally,
you make your decision and purchase one that's just the
right car for you. But now you’re feeling anxious about
the decision, second-guessing the wisdom of your choice.,
i.e. you’re experiencing cognitive dissonance.
What could a
marketer do to
make you feel
better about
your purchase?

The Means End Chain Model
 Assumes specific product attributes are linked to
terminal values.
 Products are thus valued as the means to an end
 products are consumed because they are instrumental
in attaining more abstract values.
Three levels:
1. Attributes: concrete and tangible characteristics e.g 1%
fat in milk
2. Benefits/Consequences: what the product is perceived
as doing or providing to the consumer. May be related
to use or socio-psychological consequences of
consumption. E.g. lose weight.
3. Values: intangible outcomes or ends eg. long life, good

In MEC theory the three concepts are linked hierarchically
1% milk fat
loose weight
long life
Attributes (A) lead to benefits (B), to produce value satisfaction
(V):
Linking the intermediate elements in the chain to reveal their
relationships to the terminal value called laddering
Data are gathered for a MEC analysis by interviewing consumers
about which attributes are most important for them in
differentiating among the types or brands of a given product.
By doing it for many attributes leads to hierarchical value map
which represents the associations among the key concepts
marketers can decide which attributes are most important for
achieving the values that the consumers want
