摘要:

消费者在面临不确定和不可控的营销情境时,常常会有意识地根据幸运信念来进行决策。本文从控制幻觉理论出发,对此进行了实验研究。结果表明,幸运信念和动机水平共同影响消费者幸运迷信决策:动机水平高时,高幸运信念的消费者较低幸运信念的消费者,更有可能采用幸运迷信决策;动机水平低时,高幸运信念的消费者较低幸运信念的消费者,幸运迷信决策可能性无显著差异。本文是对目前较有限的消费者迷信研究的重要拓展,并对企业营销实践具有重要启发。

Abstract:

Consumers often make decisions relying on lucky superstitions when facing with uncontrolled marketing situations. Basing on the illusion of control theory, this paper examines consumers’ superstitious decision making. The results indicate that lucky belief and motivation level influence consumer’s superstitious decision making. When motivation level is high, compared to consumers with low lucky belief, consumers with high lucky belief have a higher likelihood making a superstitious decision. When motivation level is low, there is no significant difference between consumers with high lucky belief and those with low lucky belief. This paper not only makes valuable contributions to limited extant research in consumer superstition, but also has great implications for marketing practice.

Key words: Illusion of control, Lucky belief, Motivation level, Consumer’s superstitious decision making
