We began by discussing The psychological core: Internal Consumer Processes and the influencers that affect consumer’s motivation to process information, make a decision, and take action. How factors such as emotion, culture, and cognition can affect the individual’s ability to engage in consumer behaviors and finally the main types of influencers on the consumer’s opportunity to process information and acquire, consume, or dispose of products.
