    *Here is an outline of the topics for Chapter Five.*Here is an outline of the topics for Chapter Five.*The study of personality has been approached in many different ways. Heredity, early childhood experiences, and other social influences have a strong effect on who you become. The definition given here is on inner characteristics which distinguish one individual from others. The web link on this page brings you to one of the thousands of personality tests you can find online.There are some interesting findings regarding the nature of personality. First of all, personality reflects individual differences. Because no two people are exactly the same, marketers can look for certain similar personality traits in different consumers. These consumers can then be grouped together based on this identified personality train. Personality is consistent and enduring. This helps marketers predict consumer behavior over time in terms of personality. Finally, personality can change due to major life events, such as marriage. You may notice personally that your personality has changed somewhat as you have grown certainly your personality now is somewhat different then from when you were 7 years old.*You will probably describe your personality in terms of qualities, attributes, traits, factors and mannerisms. These personality traits influence products, including food, vacations, education, clothing, and more.*These are the three major theories of personalities. There are many more but these three have been chosen because they are important to the relationship between personality and consumer behavior. Each will be discussed in detail on the next couple of slides.*Sigmund Freud was one of the most important and influential psychiatrists of all time. There are many web sited devoted to him and his theories. The web link on this page will take you to one such site.Freudian theory itself is based on the existence of unconscious needs or drives as the heart of human motivation and personality. According to Freud, human personality consists of these three systems, the id, super ego and the ego. The Id is the warehouse of primitive drives, basic physiological needs such as hunger, thirst, and sex. The superego drives the individual to fulfill their needs in a socially acceptable function. Finally, the ego is the internal monitor that balances the needs of the id and the superego.*Can certain foods be a reflection of your personality? This table shows the results of a study of 19,000 consumers which examined the link between snack food perceptions and personality types. The table shows, for example, that nuts are associated with a personality that is take charge, pitches in often, modest, self-confident but not a show-off.

    *As opposed to Freuds theories which were based heavily on development, Neo-Freudians are concerned with social relationships. These relationships are formed to reduce feelings of inferiority or tension. Furthermore, people can be classified as to how they interact with others are they compliant, aggressive, or detached. A compliant individual desires attention, an aggressive desires admirations, and a detached person desires independence and freedom from obligation. What is particularly interesting is how research has shown that these different personality groups differ in their brand usage. *Unlike Freudian and Neo-Freudian theories, trait theory is less qualitative and more focused on measurement of personality. Tests can be done to measure single traits in consumers such as how receptive they are to new experiences (innovativeness), their attachment to worldly possessions (materialism), and their likelihood to accept or reject foreign-made products (ethnocentrism). *Researchers have found that traits are more tied to general product categories then specific brands. For instance, in this chart we see the type of soup a consumer prefers but not necessarily the brands they would purchase.*Marketers are very interested in the link between personality and consumer behavior. These are seven topics which are examined on the following slides. *Consumer innovators are the group of consumers that are very open to new ideas and are usually the first to purchase products. Innovativeness is the underlying trait that describes a consumers willingness to try new products. Companies have found this very important when introducing brand extensions because it is a key factor in the consumers likelihood to try the new product. For hi-tech products, we see that innovativeness can be explained at three levels. The first, global innovativeness, is the overall innovative level of the consumer. Drilling down further, domain-specific innovativeness has to do with the particular product category, and finally, the innovative behavior is the actual purchase of the new product.*This is an example of a consumer innovation measurement scale that would be used by a researcher. There are many scales that are used to try to understand the consumers general or global level of innovativeness. On this scale, the respondent was asked to answer the questions on a scale as to how much they AGREE or DISAGREE with the statement. *Dogmatic is a personality trait that describes how rigid or open a person is to new and unfamiliar ideas and products. A person who is highly dogmatic approaches the unfamiliar defensively and with discomfort. They will rarely consider the unfamiliar and tend to be very close minded. Marketers have realized this type of customer appreciates advertising appeals with celebrities and other experts. *This personality trait has its origins in sociological research but it is of great interest to marketers because it differentiates the type of advertising that influences these customers. Inner-directed people prefer ads that stress product features. Other-directed individuals gravitate to ads that that show approving social environment rather than product information they want to look to others to understand how to act or be accepted, and the ads give an example of this.*You may be able to identify friends with greater need for uniqueness. You can see it in their clothes and hairstyles. Similarly to the other personality traits we have been discussing, there is a measurement scale that researchers use to quantify an individuals need for uniqueness. If the respondent scores high on this scale, then they have a higher need for uniqueness.

    *Optimum stimulation levels are related to how a consumer tends to like or dislike novel, complex, and unusual experiences and products. High optimum stimulation levels lead consumers to take risks and try new products. Similar to a person with high innovativeness, these consumers are important to marketers of new products.*Sensation-seeking traits tie to the need to take risks to fulfill the sensations of experiences which are different and extreme. Much research has been tied to the study of teenage males who often engage in this behavior.*Consumers seek variety in many ways. Some exhibit exploratory purchase behavior where they switch brands often to experience new products. Other consumers display variety by use innovativeness, using an existing product in a new way. Finally, vicarious exploration, which often does not involve actual purchase about the product, refers to daydreaming or thinking often about a new product. Ask yourself, for product categories, how do you exhibit variety-novelty seeking?*Researchers are aware that cognitive personality factors influence consumer behavior. In fact, it has been realized that the level of a consumers need for cognition affects how they are likely to respond to certain types of advertisements. Those that are high in need for cognition tend to respond to ads that supply product information as opposed to those who are low in need for cognition who tend to be attracted to the background of the ad, attractive models, and cartoon characters.*Another cognitive personality factor that researchers have isolated is whether a consumer is a visualizer who prefers visual information or a verbalizer who prefers written or verbal information. This difference in cognitive personality factors would affect how they respond to a print ad. *Think about how each of these media delivers information vs. visual cues.

    *Consumer researchers are interested in possession traits and their relationship to consumption. The first, consumer materialism, is a personality-like trait that describes how essential a person finds possessions in relation to their identities and their lives. Think of people you know do some seem to have more possessions and find them more important?*Consumer researchers are interested in possession traits and their relationship to consumption. Fixated consumption behavior is displayed by a consumer who seems fixated in consuming in a certain product category. For instance, people who collect Star Trek memorabilia from the original television series or comic books would display fixated consumption behavior. Compulsive consumption behavior begins to enter the area of abnormal behavior. These individuals are somewhat out of control with their purchasing and suffer from a shopping addiction called oniomania. *Consumer ethnocentrism has been found to differ from country to country and to change over time. Certain events in the U.S., including the terrorist attacks on 9/11, will change the ethnocentrism in the country. For some products, the country-of-origin can be very important when marketing the product, but in other situations it must be downplayed. In general, if the image of the country is positive, for example a French wine, it would be advantageous for the marketer to emphasize where the product was made. In many ways, cosmopolitanism is the opposite of ethnocentrism. There is an increase in Australia, for example, due to the multiculturalism.

    *Brand personality can be tied to many a successful brand. If the personality is favorable and strong, it will strengthen the brand and lead to a more favorable attitude, brand preference, higher purchase intention, and brand loyalty. In addition, in commodity category, detergent for example, it can help differentiate a brand (its the one with the Snuggly Teddy Bear).*You might find yourself choosing the Keebler Elves' cookies because the elves are cute and friendly. Perhaps you choose Gatorade because it is all about extreme physical performance. Perhaps you choose a gum because it is funny that it lasts so long (Stride).*Many marketers humanize their products. Research has shown that this can be effective but the product must have human attributes. Furthermore, brands have personalities. If brand X were a person, can you describe them? *This is a brand personality framework that shows the five dimensions of a brands personality. Consider one of your favorite brands how does it map out on this framework?*Knowing the gender that consumers assign to your brand help form advertising and marketing decisions. Who should be the spokesperson in your ad? How should they interact with the brand? In terms of geography, certain products have a strong geographical association in consumers minds. Where do you think of when you think of Clam Chowder? Most likely, you thought New England. It is interesting to note that these geographic locations can be real (Texas and Mexico) or fictitious (Hidden Valley and Sorrel Ridge). Consumers also connect personality traits with certain colors. For instance, black is related to sophisticated and red is excitement. This web link is for a site called colormatters.com. The site is rich with information on colors and marketing.*Consumers images of themselves is very closely tied to personality and consumption behavior. People tend to purchase products that enhance their self-concept and relate to their own self-images. Think of products that you might purchase to support your self-image.*To understand multiple selves, think of the way you present yourself and think about yourself at a formal university function (career fair perhaps) vs. a party with good friends. Next, think of the clothing you would purchase for these events. It would likely be very different as you are presenting a different self at each event.*We have an image of ourselves that has developed over time. Consumers will tend to purchase products that match their self images or personalities they choose brands that help them define themselves.*There are different self-images that have been recognized in consumer behavior. They all deal with the actual image of an individual and the ideal or expected image of that same person. Many consumers will purchase products to meet the gap between their actual and ideal selves. *There is a strong relationship for many consumers between some of their possessions and their self. In this instance, the objects are really part of the consumers extended self. The object might have specific meaning to them that goes beyond what most possessions can offer. It is many a student who must wear a lucky shirt or bring a charm to an exam to perform at their peak in this situation.*Often, a consumer wishes to change themselves. Perhaps they want a new look or to appear in a different way. Altering the self-image can tie to personal vanity as it is involved in ones appearance.*There are many opportunities to create online selves. Whether it is a chat room, a character in an online role-playing game, or a virtual world people often pick identities that are very different then their true selves.**
