Influence Of Physically Attractive People On Consumers In Advertising, Rick W. Caylor

Theses and Dissertations

When meeting another person for the first time, the most prominent factor in formulating an impression is the person's physical attractiveness. It has been stated that "A person's physical appearance, along with his sexual identity, is the personal characteristic most obvious and accessible to others in the social interaction" (Dion, Berscheid, and Walster 1972). There are numerous studies in this area and they will be examined and analyzed with respect to their immediate and long-term implications within the marketing and advertising arenas of the business world.

Impatience To Response Time, Robert James Rovi

Theses

The concept of waiting patiently and impatiently is examined and a model is proposed which is helpful in explaining Increases in the levels of impatience. A survey of people working in the computer field was taken so that a measure of the time within which the average person becomes impatient for a variety of computer operations could be determined. These answers were then compared with the results of a survey taken in 1968. Results show that there was no significant difference between these two groups even though the survey taken in 1968 was expected to show longer expected response times …

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

The essence of Karl Marx's criticism of the modern world, argues PETER HALEY, rests more on ethics than economics. Currently Visiting Assistant Professor in the College at the University of Chicago, Haley has investigated the charisma concept in Weber and some of his precursors.

Theocracy, whether championed by a Solzhenitsyn or a Jerry Falwell, says GORMAN BEAUCHAMP, is fundamentally antidemocratic. Author of numerous articles on utopian fiction and of a recent book on Jack London, Beauchamp is Associate Professor of English in the Department of Humanities in the College of Engineering at the University of …

The Effects Of Person-Job Environment Congruency On Individual And Organizational Outcomes, Eileen J. Mcdonald

A Customer-Oriented Approach For Determining Market Structures, Rajendra K. Srivastava, Mark I. Alpert, Allan D. Shocker

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

A framework for market analysis based on customer perceptions of substitutability-in-use is presented. An empirical application in the financial/banking services market is used to illustrate that when product preferences are dependent on the use/consumption context (especially relevant when products have multiple uses), situational variables can help predictive ability, and hierarchical clusters (requiring exclusive group membership) may be misleading. Additionally, it is shown that interactions among situation, product, and person factors may be more managerially meaningful than the main effects.
