How are attitudes formed?

• Conditioning– Learning can occur from repeated exposure to stimuli– We are more likely to develop a positive attitude towards

behaviour that continually brings rewards

• Modelling– Develop attitudes by watching others that we trust or

respect

• Cognitive Learning– Involves problem solving or reaching logical conclusions

based on information

9-9

The tri-component model of attitudes

• Attitudes are generally considered to be made up of three elements:

– Affective component Feelings Based on physiological nervous reactions to an object

– Cognitive component Beliefs What a person believes to be true about an idea, event,

person, activity or object

– Behavioural intentions An observable reaction e.g. to purchase a particular brand

9-10

Fishbein’s multi-attribute model of attitudes

• Assumes that attitudes often have many attributes that influence them

• (The tri-component model assesses a person’s attitude to only one attribute of the attitude)

• Differs from tri-component model in 4 main areas:– Focuses mainly on the affect component– Considers the strength of multiple attributes– Suggests that attitude affects intentions and this leads

to behaviour– Measures strength of attributes

9-11

Fishbein’s multi-attribute model of attitudes

Attitude identification involves:

1. Identifying the attitude

2. Determining consumer intention, based on their attitudes

3. Predicting behaviour based on intentions

9-12

Functions of attitudes

Attitudes have 4 main functions:

1. Adjustment function– Attitudes help consumers adjust to situations– People seek out group acceptance in order to gain praise

or rewards and avoid punishment

2. Ego defensive function– Attitudes are formed to protect the ‘ego’

3. Value expressive function– A consumer’s attitudes are often a reflection of their values

4. Knowledge function– Attitudes help consumers make decisions and process and

filter information

Colgate is a brand I can trust.

1. Strongly Disagree

2. Disagree

3. Neither Agree nor Disagree

4. Agree

5. Strongly Agree

Attitude measurement tools

• Semantic differential scales– Uses a 7-point rating scale with bipolar labels at the end

points– Tends to measure a person’s beliefs about a product, for

example:

Pleasant taste

Low priced

Unpleasant taste

High priced

purchase a particular product, for example

9-17

Attitude change

• Two conditions must exist to allow for attitude change:

– The object of the attitude must no longer provide the satisfaction that it once did

– Attitudes can change when the consumer’s aspirations change

• Attitude change occurs when one of the three elements of attitude (affect, cognition, behaviour) undergoes a change

9-18

Attitude change via affect (influencing feelings)

• Conditioning– Build up positive feelings through rewards, positive music

or emotive symbols

• Feelings towards advertisement/communication– If you like the advertisement, there is a greater chance

you’ll like the product– Using well-liked celebrities

• Mere exposure– Just showing an advertisement or communication to

consumers can lead to a positive attitude
