Motivation of Health Behavior
In psychology, motivation refers to the initiation, direction, intensity and persistence of behaviour (Geen, 1995). Motivation is a temporal and dynamic state that should not be confused with personality or emotion. Motivation is having the desire and willingness to do something. A motivated person can be reaching for a long-term goal such as becoming a professional writer or a more short-term goal like learning how to spell a particular word. Personality invariably refers to more or less permanent characteristics of an individual's state of being (e.g., shy, extrovert, conscientious). As opposed to motivation, emotion refers to temporal states that do not immediately link to behaviour (e.g., anger, grief, happiness). This important book is dedicated to motivation of health behaviours.
Consumer Behavior
The sixth edition explains key consumer behavior concepts and theories, drawing on the latest research in psychology, economics, and sociology. The new lead author, Syed Akhter (Marquette University) has completely updated 6e to deliver a more concise alternative (approximately 450 pages) to the old style exhaustive, encyclopedic approach of the major competitors. 6e covers the important areas CB instructors would likely want covered, but omits material less essential to the student’s education in consumer behavior. The book′s emphasis on the practical application of the chapter material meets students’ bias for retaining that which can help them become successful in a marketing career. It presents a “Strategy Box” in each chapter that focuses on questions related to consumer behavior research and findings, challenging students to think critically and answer strategic questions as well as numerous cross-cultural examples to illustrate concepts of consumer behavior and make them meaningful. End-of-chapter applied sections, “Putting Theory into Practice,” offer students additional materials to dig deeper into chapter topics and improve decision-making skills.
Consumer Behaviour
Consumer behaviour is more than buying things; it also embraces the study of how having (or not having) things affects our lives and how possessions influence the way we feel about ourselves and each other - our state of being. The 3rd edition of Consumer Behaviour is presented in a contemporary framework based around the buying, having and being model and in an Australasian context. Students will be engaged and excited by the most current research, real-world examples, global coverage, managerial applications and ethical examples to cover all facets of consumer behaviour. With new coverage of Personality and incorporating real consumer data, Consumer Behaviour is fresh, relevant and up-to-date. It provides students with the best possible introduction to this fascinating discipline.
