Download or read book Online Impulse Buying and Cognitive Dissonance written by Giovanni Mattia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumers’ beliefs and attitudes towards online sales significantly influence buying behavior on the internet. However, the impact of these thoughts and beliefs on the decision to make an online purchase is not direct. It can be moderated by the emotions experienced while browsing an e-commerce website. Impulse buying in particular is influenced by a number of factors, for example how stimulating the e-shopping platform is, and how easy it is to click on the cart a certain product, for instance a smartphone. But what happens after an online impulse buy is made? Often the customer can regret the purchase and in the throes of anxiety, look for reasons to justify the choices made. Consumer behaviour scholars and pyschologists call this phenomenon cognitive dissonance, and certain individuals are more sensitive than others in developing this than others. This book offers a deep investigation around online impulse buying and subsequent cognitive dissonance. Specifically, the authors present a research case study of a group of millenials who are shopping for smartphones to study whether an initial positive state can reduce the onset of cognitive dissonance in consumers. Based on substantial research and a sample of 212 impulsive millennial buyers, the book provides a comprehensive, but simple and synthetic framework of impulse buying, cognitive dissonance and positive affect state, highlighting their relationships.

Book excerpt: What is leisure consumer psychologyLeisure activites how influence consumer psychology Consumer lesiure time behavior is receiving increasing attention by marketers. What factors may influence on consumer's leisure shoppin behavior? In fact, shopping is regarded as a major leisure time activity. Shopping is regarded as a major lesiure time activity. Shopping center shoppers are seeking ways to make shopping more on a lesiure pursuit. When the consumer feels shopping lesiure interest, it will influence he/she to make immediate shopping leisure interest. It will influence he/she to make immediate purchase decision. The question concerns: How to cause consumers to feel shopping lesiure interest?Some researchers believe that when the consumer feels enjoyable use of time without respect to the purchase of goods or services. This lesiure time psychology may influence he/she to make shopping decision rapidly. Shopping is an entertainment experience. It is one drive to influence consumers feel enjoyable shopping activities in shopping malls, for example, internet tool can be one platform to let some people like to apply technology to choose any products to buy at home conveniently, when they do not need to leave homes to spend time to visit any shopping centers. Because they feel time is expensive to them, if the person is a busy buyer , e.g. lawyer, doctor or accountant etc. occupation, he won't have must time to visit shopping centers to choose any kinds of products to buy. Then, online purchase time may be leisure time to their high technology computer players. Otherwise, the people like to visit shops, visiting shop time may be their leisure time more than visiting online webstores time.So, one consumer dislikes or hates to leave homes to go to shopping online visiting webstores activity may be his/her leisure time, because when he/she gathers any product data from internet, his/her " internet gathering products data" behavior may excite his/her purchase desire rapidly in short time when he/she feels seeking webstores activity is lesiure time. So, seeking webstore behavior can motivate he/she makes rapid purchase decision. So, online seeking webstores activity may be as a pleasure or leisure shopping time to any on eonline cosumer or onlinr buyer , because they may feel online seeking webstores may be experiencing fun, amusement, fantasy, and sensory stimulation. He/she will feel traditional visiting shop retail experience is not suitable to satisfy his/her shopping need. He/she needs to change another non-traditional online shopping behavior, because online visiting webstores can satisfy his/her lesiure time . So , visiting shopping centers won't be leisure acitivity, spending the highest amount of time, e.g. more than two hours on average to any one online players.Hence, lesiure consumption time may be one influential psychology element to influence the consumer to make purchase decision, such as many online players may feel online visiting webstore activities time may be that leisure time or many visiting shoppers may feel visiting shopping center time, may be their lesiure time. Som external environment factors, such as shopping center crowd and noise shopping environment or home quiet online using computer visiting webstore private environment may influence consumers how feel leisure times and leisure shopping behaviors. ⦁How to let patients to feel leisure living in hospitalsPsychologists use to describe the people they want with patients or clients. Because patients may be hospital's customers, although doctors feel they are patient role.

Book excerpt: You're only a click away from online success. The world of shopping is at a crossroads. While online sales are growing at runaway speed, many businesses are finding themselves left behind, discovering that what has worked so long in offline does not work online, and what works online does not necessarily translate offline: it simply doesn't click. Packed with tips, guidance and real-world case studies from online niche stores Bellabox and Facetache to the universal appeal of Groupon, and from offline discount stores Dollar Tree and Poundland to the luxury Selfridges, in this informative book internet psychologist Graham Jones reveals: * Why most online shopping carts are abandoned before a purchase is ever made and how to stop this happening in your store * Why having a centrally positioned search box aids navigation and increases sales * Why offering free shipping online pays off * Why it makes sense to be sociable He also reveals the why of consumer behaviour online, how it differs from offline behavior, and how you can use this understanding to create a store that connects with and engages your customers on both a practical and a psychological level a store that demonstrates true clickology. Using an accessible five-step CLICK system for turning clicks into dollars, the book shows how to learn from the experience of both on- and offline, and apply lessons to both. Whether you re running a small business website or that of a big corporation, whether you're operating purely online or offline too, Click.ology shows you how to thrive.

This book was released on 2024-01-27 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access book. In the current situation of rapid economic development, the competition in the market is increasingly fierce. The drawbacks of traditional enterprise management and the backward management concept have seriously hindered the normal development of enterprises. In order to improve their competitive advantages and market share, enterprises must optimize their management methods and build a modern business administration system. In this situation, enterprises can only promote their development process by improving their business management mode and formulating scientific business management policies. Data science is one of the most important tools for optimizing business administration. Data science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract value from data. Data scientists use a combination of skills (including statistics, computer science and business knowledge) to analyze data collected from the Web, smartphones, customers, sensors and other sources. Data is the cornerstone of innovation, and data scientists gather information from data, discovering hidden trends from raw data and generating insights that companies can use to transform business problems into research projects that can then be translated back into practical solutions. Based on this, BADS 2023 discusses the state of modern business administration and the corresponding improvement measures in the context of the current reality, and It also provides a platform for scholars in related fields to exchange and share information, discuss how the two affect each other, and promote the modernization of business administration by studying certain business administration issues. To open new perspectives, broaden horizons, and examine the issues being discussed by the participants. Create an international-level forum for sharing, research and exchange that will expose participants to the latest research directions, results and content in different fields, thus inspiring them to come up with new research ideas.

Download or read book Action Control written by Julius Kuhl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is not thought as such that can move anything, but thought which is for the sake of something and is practical." This discerning insight, which dates back more than 2000years to Aristotle, seems to have been ignored by most psycholo gists. For more than 40years theories of human action have assumed that cogni tion and action are merely two sides of the same coin. Approaches as different as S-O-R behaviorism,social learning theory, consistency theories,and expectancy value theories of motivation and decision making have one thing in common: they all assume that "thought (or any other type of cognition) can move any thing," that there is a direct path from cognition to behavior. In recent years, we have become more and more aware of the complexities in volved in the relationship between cognition and behavior. People do not always do what they intend to do. Aside from several nonpsychological factors capable of reducing cognition-behavior consistency, there seems to be a set of complex psychological mechanisms which intervene between action-related cognitions, such as beliefs, expectancies, values, and intentions,and the enactment of the be havior suggested by those cognitions. In our recent research we have focused on volitional mechanismus which presumably enhance cognition-behavior consistency by supporting the main tenance of activated intentions and prevent them from being pushed aside by competing action tendencies.
