25
Problem Recognition
The result of a discrepancy between a desired state and an actual state that is sufficient to arouse and activate the decision process.
26
Actual State
The way an individual perceives his or her feelings and situation to be at the present time.
27
Desired State
The way an individual wants to feel or be at the present time.
28
Active Problem
One the consumer is aware of or will become aware of in the normal course of events.

30
Activity Analysis
Focuses on a particular activity, such as preparing dinner, maintaining the lawn, or swimming.
31
Product Analysis
Similar to Activity Analysis but examines the purchase or use of a particular product or brand. Customers may be asked about problems with using products to discover this.
32
Problem Analysis
Take the opposite approach to Activity and Product Analysis. Starts with the problem and asks respondents to indicate which activities, products, or brands are associated with (or perhaps could eliminate) those problems.
33
Human Factors Research
Attempts to determine human capabilities in areas such as vision, strength, response time, flexibility, and fatigue and the effect of these capabilities of lighting, temperature, and sound. Can sometimes identify functional problems that consumers are unaware of.
34
Emotion Research
Growing field of study. Commonly done with focus groups and personal interviews that examine the emotions associated with certain problems.
35
Generic Problem Recognition
Involves a discrepancy that a variety of brands within a product category can reduce.
36
Selective Problem Recognition
Involves a discrepancy that only one brand can solve.
37
Internal Search
Once a problem is recognized, relevant information from long-term memory is used to determine if a satisfactory solution is known, what the characteristics of potential solutions are, what are appropriate ways to compare solutions, and so forth.
38
External Search
Can involve independent sources, personal sources, marketer-based information, and product experience. Varies from nominal decision making, to limited decision making, to extended decision making.
39
Evaluative Criteria
(Type of information sought) The things you look for in a product or service that you perform an internal search to determine.
40
Appropriate Alternatives
(Type of information sought) Begins with an internal search. List categorized as an awareness set, with subsets called the Evoked, Inert, and Inept sets.
41
Awareness Set
The brands you think of in your initial internal search after problem recognition.
42
Evoked (Consideration) Set
(Subset of the Awareness Set) Those brands or products one will evaluate for the solution of a particular consumer problem. (The GOOD one.)
43
Inept Set
(Subset of Awareness Set) Those brands or products one finds unworthy of consideration. Actively disliked or avoided by the consumer.
44
Inert Set
(Subset of Awareness Set) Those brands that consumers generally accept when preferred brands are not available. They will generally accept favorable information about brands in the inert set, although they do not seek out such information.
45
Alternative Characteristics
(Type of information sought) Require consumer to gather information about each brand on each pertinent evaluative criterion, then compare the brands on said criterion.

57
Market Characteristics
Number of alternatives, perceived range of prices, store distribution, and information availability.
58
Number of Alternatives
(Market Characteristic) Number products, stores, and brands available to resolve a problem. Increases the external search.
59
Perceived Range of Prices
(Market Characteristic) Range of prices among similar brands. Major factor in increasing external search.
60

(Market Characteristic) The number, location, and distances between retail stores in the market--affects the number of store visits a consumer will make before purchase. Increases external search.
61
Information Availability
(Market Characteristic) Includes format. Major sources are advertising, point-of-purchase displays, Web sites, sales personnel, packages, other consumers, and independent sources. Increases external search.
62
Product Characteristics
Differentiation, positive products, and negative products.
63
Differentiation
(Product Characteristic) Feature and quality variation across brands. Associated with increased external search.
64
Positive Products
(Product Characteristic) Those whose acquisition results in positive reinforcement. More likely to increase external search than Negative.
65
Negative Products
(Product Characteristic) Those whose primary benefit is negative reinforcement (removal of an unpleasant condition). Less likely to increase external search than Positive.
66
Consumer Characteristics
Confidence in one's knowledge of existing solutions, experiences with brand, familiarity with the product, social status, household life cycle, shopping orientations, involvement in the product category, and Perceived Risk.
67
Perceived Risk
(Consumer Characteristic) Associated with unsatisfactory product performance, either instrumental or symbolic. Higher perceived risk is associated with increased search and greater reliance on personal sources of information and personal experiences.
68
Associations of Perceived Risk
Social Cost, Financial Cost, Time Cost, Effort Cost, and Physical (Health) Cost.
69
Situation Characteristics
Temporal perspective, gift-giving situations, multiple-item purchase, physical/emotional energy, physical surroundings, social surroundings.
70
Marketing Strategies based on Information Search Patterns
Maintenance, Disrupt, Capture, Intercept, Preference, and Acceptance.
71
Maintenance Strategy
(Info Search Strategy) Nominal Decision Making Brand in Evoked Set. "Purchased habitually by the customer."
72
Disrupt Strategy
(Info Search Strategy) Nominal Decision Making. Brand not in Evoked Set. "Convince long-term customers that it's better."
73
Capture Strategy
(Info Search Strategy) Limited Decision Making. Brand in Evoked Set. "Capture as large a share of the purchase as possible."
74
Intercept Strategy
(Info Search Strategy) Limited Decision Making. Brand not in Evoked Set. "Capture the attention of the local markets."
75
Preference Strategy
(Info Search Strategy) Extended Decision Making. Brand in Evoked Set. "Brand must be strong in position on the important attributes."
76
Acceptance Strategy
(Info Search Strategy) Extended Decision Making. Brand not in Evoked Set. "Similar to Preference, but the audience is not seeking out the brand."
77
Bounded Rationality
A limited capacity for processing information.
78
Affective Choice
Holistic in nature. Based on immediate emotional response and how the user will feel when using the product. Associated more with Consummatory rather than Instrumental.
79
Consummatory Motives
Underlie behaviors that are intrinsically rewarding to the individual involved.
80
Instrumental Motives
Activate behaviors designed to achieve a second goal.
81
Attribute-based Choice
Requires the knowledge of specific attributes at the time the choice is made, and it involves attribute-by-attribute comparisons across brands.
82
Attitude-based Choice
Involves the use of general attitudes, summary impressions, intuitions, or heuristics; no attribute-by-attribute comparisons are made at the time of choice.
83
Evaluative Criteria
The various dimensions, features, or benefits a consumer looks for in response to a specific problem. Typically either benefits or costs to a consumer. Can be tangible or intangible.
84
Measurement of Evaluative Criteria
Which evaluative criteria are used by the consumer, how the consumer perceives the various alternatives on each criterion, and the relative importance of each criterion.
85
Determination of Which Evaluative Criteria Are Used
Projective Techniques and Perceptual Mapping
86
Determination of Consumers' Judgments of Brand Performance on Specific Evaluative Criteria
Rank Ordering Scales, Semantic Differential Scales, and Likert Scales. The Semantic Differential scale is the most widely used.None are effective with emotions, so SAM can also be used.
87
Determination of the Relative Importance of Evaluative Criteria
Direct or Indirect methods. Constant Sum Scale is the most used direct method, and the most used indirect is conjoint analysis.
88
Sensory Discrimination
The ability of an individual to distinguish between similar stimuli.
89
Just Noticeable Difference
The minimum amount that one brand can differ from another with the difference still being noticed. Individuals typically do not notice relatively small differences between brands or changes in brand attributes.
90
Conjoint Analysis
The consumer is presented with a set of products or product descriptions in which the evaluative criteria vary.
91
Surrogate Indicator
An attribute used to stand for or indicate another attribute.
92
Factors That Influence Perceived Importance of Evaluative Criteria
Usage Situation, Competitive Context, and Advertising Effects.
93
Blind Test
A test in which the consumer does not know the product's brand name.
94
Non-compensatory Rules
A high level of one attribute cannot offset a low level of another. Rules are Conjunctive, Disjunctive, Elimination-by-Aspects, and Lexicographic.
95
Conjunctive Decision Rule
Establishes minimum required performance standards for each evaluative criterion and selects the first or all brands that meet or exceed these minimum standards. "I'll consider all brands (or I'll buy the first) that are acceptable on the attributes I think are important.
96
Disjunctive Decision Rule
(May not be on the test.) Establishes minimum level of performance for each important attribute (often a fairly high level). "I'll consider all (or buy the first) brands that perform really well on any attribute I consider important."
97
Elimination-by-Aspects Decision Rule
(May not be on the test.) Requires the consumer to rank the evaluative criteria in terms of their importance and to establish a cutoff point for each criterion. "I want to buy the brand that has a high level of an important attribute that other brands do not have."
98
Lexicographic Decision Rule
Requires the consumer to rank the criteria in order of importance. "I want to get the brand that does best on the attribute of most importance to me. If there is a tie, I'll break it by choosing the one that does best on my second most important criterion."
99
Compensatory Decision Rule
(Weighted average.) The brand that rates highest on the sum of the consumer's judgments of the relevant evaluative criteria will be chosen. (Same as the multi-attribute model from Chapter 11.) This is the most time consuming and taxing rule.
100
Rules of Low-Involvement Decisions
Simple decision rules such as conjunctive, disjunctive, elimination-by-aspects, or lexicographic. Higher involvement typically means more complex decisions that use the compensatory rule.
101
Metagoals
The general nature of the outcome being sought. The only one considered in many studies of consumer decision making is "maximizing the accuracy of the decision." Others include minimizing the cognitive effort required for the decision, minimize the experience of negative emotion while making the decision, and maximize the ease with which a decision can be justified.
