Children's Reliance on Artist Intentions When Identifying Pictures
0 Views •
2023
Source: Laboratories of Judith Danovitch and Nicholaus Noles—University of Louisville Children are not the best artists. Sometimes it’s easy to pick out the characteristic triangular head, whiskers, and tail of a cat, but children often describe elaborate scenarios that they depict as a beautifully unrecognizable mess. Thus, given children’s questionable artistic talent, how do they know what their drawings, and the drawings of others, represent? One way children identify pictures is by relying...

2015
This protocol presents a novel methodology for the neural decoding of intent from freely-behaving infants during unscripted social interaction with an actor. Neural activity is acquired using non-invasive high-density active scalp electroencephalography (EEG). Kinematic data is collected with inertial measurement units and supplemented with synchronized video recording.

Inducing Emotions

Source: William Brady & Jay Van Bavel—New York University Psychologists have long known that people behave differently in good moods versus bad moods, and this general principle extends to consumer behavior. Economists, as well, have come to appreciate that an individual’s financial decisions are not solely the result of extensive cost-benefit calculations; other factors like emotion are at play. Further, incidental emotions affect the behavior of buyers and sellers even though they are...

Piaget's Conservation Task and the Influence of Task Demands

2023
Source: Laboratories of Judith Danovitch and Nicholaus Noles—University of Louisville Jean Piaget was a pioneer in the field of developmental psychology, and his theory of cognitive development is one of the most well-known psychological theories. At the heart of Piaget’s theory is the idea that children’s ways of thinking change over the course of childhood. Piaget provided evidence for these changes by comparing how children of different ages responded to questions and problems that he...
FAQs
Purchase intention emerges from the combined influence of how consumers evaluate an offering, what benefits they believe it provides, and whether they consider the provider trustworthy. These factors do not operate independently: a favorable attitude may be weakened by low perceived value, while strong value perceptions may have limited influence when trust is poor. Their interaction helps explain variation in expected marketplace behavior.
Perceived control reflects how capable or able consumers feel to complete a purchase. Even when attitudes and value perceptions are favorable, limited control can prevent intention from translating into action. Examining this factor helps researchers distinguish a positive evaluation of an offering from a realistic likelihood of buying, especially when comparing stated intentions with later marketplace behavior.
Social influence contributes to purchase intention by shaping how consumers interpret an offering within their social environment. The views or expectations of others can strengthen or weaken the effect of personal attitudes, perceived value, and trust. Including this influence in behavioral analysis helps explain why consumers with similar evaluations may nevertheless express different levels of willingness to purchase.
Intention does not always become action because barriers can intervene between willingness and behavior. Comparing stated intention with observed purchases can reveal where this divergence occurs and identify obstacles affecting consumer behavior. This comparison provides more insight than relying on intention alone, because it shows whether favorable evaluations and perceived willingness correspond with marketplace outcomes.
Researchers assess purchase intention through surveys, experiments, and behavioral data. Surveys capture consumers’ stated likelihood or willingness, while experiments can examine how changes in product information or experiences influence those responses. Behavioral data provide an additional basis for comparison with observed purchases. Using these approaches helps evaluate both expressed intentions and their relationship to marketplace behavior.
Purchase intention supports evaluation of marketing strategies, identification of customer segments, and demand forecasting. Researchers and practitioners can examine how product information or consumer experiences affect intention, then compare those findings with purchases to identify barriers. In behavioral research, this approach links psychological factors such as trust and perceived value with practical decisions about offerings and market activity.
