Pursuing Parenthood: Integrating Cultural And Cognitive Perspectives On Persistent Goal Striving, Eileen Fischer, Cele C. Otnes, Linda Tuncay Zayer

Linda Tuncay Zayer

This article argues that a fuller understanding of consumer persistence, or repeated attempts to achieve goals, is necessary and can be achieved by adopting an interdisciplinary perspective and integrating cultural and cognitive perspectives on consumer phenomena. Developing insights by examining experiences of informants pursuing parenthood using assisted reproductive technologies, we build on Bagozzi and Dholakia’s (1999) model of goal striving to explore how cultural discourses inform consumers’ cognitions. We analyze how both life-project framing discourses and culturally pervasive discourses affect consumers and demonstrate that a cultural perspective is a vital complement to cognitive models of persistence.

Mapping The Bounds Of Incoherence: How Far Can You Go And How Does It Affect Your Brand?, Ujwal Kayande, John H. Roberts, Gary L. Lilien, Duncan Kh Fong

Consumers often have to evaluate products comprising a combination of attributes that is not expected by them, given their beliefs about how attributes normally co-vary in the product category. Such an attribute combination implies that the claimed level of a product attribute is then different from what the consumer might infer, given the level of another attribute, resulting in what we call product incoherence. We develop a model to calibrate the effect of incoherence on perceptions, uncertainty, preference, and ultimately purchase.
