Individual Characteristics
Learning and Knowledge
The meanings attached to
such natural things as time,
space, relationships, and
colors are learned and vary
widely across cultures.
Consumers also learn about
marketer-created stimuli like
brands and promotions
through their experiences
with them.

Individual Characteristics
Expectations
Interpretations tend to be consistent
with expectations, an effect referred
to as the expectation bias.
Consumers often evaluate the
performance of a well-known brand
as higher than that of an identical
product with an unknown brand
name.

Interpretation
Situational Characteristics

stimulus is interpreted.
