In the paper “A clarification and Extension of Operant Conditioning Principles in Marketing”, both Kassarjian and Rothschild and Gaidis believed that operant conditioning is not only useful for low-involvement purchases but also applied effectively in high-involvement purchases. In the paper, they gave out the example for the automobile purchase: a car dealer want to attract attention and increase their number sales of car, they give special offers for their potential customers: (1) free coffee and doughnuts are offered, and given to anyone who comes to the dealership, (2) $5 cash is offered and given to any licensed driver who will test drive a car, (3) a $500 rebate is offered and given to anyone who purchases a car.

Many principles of Watson’s behaviorist theory are used in modern advertising. Advertisers realized the best way to manipulate consumers was through their emotions. Ads that make the consumer feel happiness, love or fear and anger will force them to formulate a decision on the product being advertised. For example, according to the Taiwanese movie ‘Twelve Nights’ directed by Raye, is about to advocate the prevention of abandonment to animals. We ask ourselves whether we love pets while watching the video or seeing the trailer. While seeing a sad-looking dog with a sappy ballad in the movie trailer, those pictures give the grief to viewers, and this sadness might cause more and more consumer to buy the movie tickets to cinema to support this film. The advertiser stimulates an emotion in the consumer in benefit of this cause.
All these stages are simple, but extremely effective. Any advertisement that you hear on the radio or see on the TV is using classical conditioning to make you change your behavior and go and buy their product. Cola, pizzas, cars, and even toilet paper commercials are no exception. Advertisements are made with this psychological principal, using objects or certain types of people to generate an emotion to dig deep into your mind and your pocket book. Today we will take a walk through the history of advertising and look at how commercials for beauty products have evolved with the

Consumer research began focusing on emotional response to advertising during the 1980’s (Goodstein, Edell, at all 1988). Within the debate of deciding if the use of emotion is the most effective way of creating a strong brand in advertising, comes a discussion of high and low involvement. Krugman’s (1965, p. 349-356), Public Opinion Quarterly, is where Krugman observed that much of the content of television advertising was “trivial and sometimes silly” and did not fit the “traditional persuasion models prevalent at the time” (Krugman, 1965, p.349-356). Krugman’s theory was that television viewers were not particularly involved or interested in television advertising but rather that they watched it in a ‘low-involvement’ state of mind. Krugman (1965) assumed that the differences between slow and fast brainwaves would demonstrate the level of interest that the advertisement had on the consumer. Maggie Geuens (2011, p. 418–426) furthers this theory and stated that “Emotional advertising is effective for low involvement and hedonic products, but not for high involvement or utilitarian products” (Geuens, 2011, p.418-426) which clearly demonstrated that from her research emotional advertising will only appeal to consumers with low involvement into the television ads and in relation to the products that they are trying to
This report aims to provide a mix review of theories and personal case study. I will apply two consumer behaviour theories in relation to my own purchase decisions.
Advertising generally tries to sell the things that consumers want even if they should not wish for them. Adverting things that consumers do not yearn for is not effective use of the advertiser’s money.

Ad attitude have assessed the effects of ads for common repeat-purchase products, whereas other ads are used for a wide variety of different types of ads. Differences in the type of product may prompt differences in subjects' involvement and affect toward advertised information (Hoyer, 1984). Purchase intent would be analyzed through this study by looking at the positive or negative relation with advertisement. Hence, effect of other variables will be checked on purchase intention.
A reader will clearly understand whether the advertising influences people or not, also will recognize how advertising forces people to buy things they do not need. It is also important to distinguish between manipulation and influence. During the whole work, we will show exact examples and evidence of how actually advertising manipulates people and why we do not see it.

Advertising is an information source to inform people about the products and new prices of the company which can help them to make informed choices. More recently, huge amount of money has been spent on advertising throughout the world. Different types of advertisement such as television, radio, magazine, newspaper, the internet, billboards and posters can influence consumer’s behavior positively or negatively as there are different arguments and opinions.

By being a consumer in a world of diverse products and services, it has given us a wide range of choices. A product may be produced by different companies and has the same function, but it is presented to the consumers in different forms. In order to differ from each other, companies use the help of advertising to present its product in a better way than their competitors’. However, advertising the product is becoming more crucial than the product itself. Companies are focusing more on making the brand more popular, rather than actually improving the product that they offer. By turning the advertisement competition into a war between companies, they mislead buyers by hyperbolizing their products positive features, thus hiding the negative ones. Companies forget about the effect they have on the consumers. Consumers should be aware of the manipulative tricks that advertising uses like subliminal messages and brain seduction in order to not be misled into buying something that they do not really require. By knowing how to manipulate the audience and consumers’ brain, companies use tactical methods in order to persuade specific customers to buy specific products or services. Other examples of techniques they use are techniques like puffery which are suggestive claims about a product, using subliminal messages and transferring information indirectly, as well as by targeting a specific group of people, creating a slogan or a mascot and by using sexy models with perfect bodies, advertising tries to manipulate and persuade consumers into buying the product they are offering.
