Consumer Behavior

What is consumer behavior?

6.1 Consumer Behavior

DEFINED: Consumer behavior is the dynamic interaction of affect and cognition,behavior, and the environment in which human beings conduct the exchange aspects (product and service purchases) of their lives.

Consumer behavior represents the psychology of marketing. Psychology involves the study of the mind.The way a person's mind is wired plays an essential role in making purchase decisions.The process of how purchase decisions are made can be challenging to understand because the decisions consumers make are related to underlying human behavior. Consumer behavior has been explored through the lenses of marketing actions (for example, advertising and sales) and social psychology.
