What motivates consumers is an age-old question that has baffled the scholar and practitioner of Marketing alike. Part two of our two-part series on Consumer Motivations illustrates the model proposed in the previous lecture with a smoking behavior study that was conducted by Dr. Jagdish Sheth. The study considers three different choice situations: whether to smoke or not; which type of cigarette to smoke; and which brand to patronize. The study demonstrated strong validity for our theory.
