The Experiential Perspective.
. . . proposes that in some instances buying results from the consumer’s need for fun, to create fantasies, obtain emotions, and feelings. Frequently uses interpretative research methods.

The Behavioral Influence Perspective . . .
. . . assumes that strong environmental forces propel consumers to make purchases without necessarily first developing strong feelings or beliefs about the product.

Exchange Processes and Consumer Behavior
Exchange is the process that involves the “transfer of something tangible or intangible, actual or symbolic, between two or more social actors.”
![Page 10: Chapter 01 introduction to consumer behavior](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051213/55a57a881a28ab6b048b466d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Prerequisites for Exchange:
Two or more parties must be present Each party has something of value to the other Each party is capable of communication and
delivery Each party must be free to accept or reject the
other's offer Each party must believe that it is appropriate or
desirable to deal with the other
