91. Explain the relationship between gender roles and household decision making.
ANSWER:
Answers will vary. Traditionally, men were viewed as having the primary responsibility of providing for the
family, while women were expected to meet everyday family needs and take care of the home. However,
changes in the education of women and the acceleration in the number of double-income families have
challenged these conceptualizations.An important concept in gender roles and family decision making is sex
role orientation (SRO). A family’s SRO influences the ways in which household decisions are reached.
Families that have a traditional SRO believe that it is the responsibility of the male head of household to
make large purchase decisions, while families with a modern SRO believe in a more democratic
approach.The role of women in household decision making is more prevalent than in previous years. Studies
have revealed that women are playing a bigger role in decision making in all household areas. This, in part,
reflects the fact that the percentage of women with higher education and income levels than their spouses has
grown significantly over the last few decades.
92. What is viral marketing?
ANSWER:
Answers will vary. One buzz marketing tactic that relates directly to word-of-mouth (WOM) is termed viral

marketing messages through their online connections. The spreading of WOM online through social
networking sites can be considered a form of buzz marketing. Buzz marketing uses social media tools and

98. Explain the three types of reference group influence.
ANSWER:
Answers will vary. Reference group influence generally falls into one of three categories: a. The
informational influence of groups refers to the ways in which consumers use the behaviors and attitudes of
reference groups as information for making their own decisions. Informational influence can be a result of
explicit searching behavior. It is also present when the consumer is not explicitly searching for product-
related information, but rather observing others’ behaviors.b. Utilitarian influence occurs when consumers
conform to group expectations to receive a reward or avoid punishment. Compliance with group expectations
often leads to valued rewards. When the group is perceived as being able to give rewards and punishment
based on compliance, then this influence is quite strong.c. The value-expressive influence of groups refers to
the ways in which consumers internalize a group’s values or the extent to which consumers join groups to
express their own closely held values and beliefs. This influence is related to referent power.
99. Describe market mavens and surrogate consumers.
ANSWER:
Answers will vary. A market maven is a consumer who spreads information about all types of products and
services that are available in the marketplace. The market maven’s influence is not category specific. Market
mavens spread information about numerous products and services.A surrogate consumer is a consumer who
is hired by another to provide input into a purchase decision. Surrogate consumers can be very influential.
Because of their extensive product expertise, surrogate consumers can often help others derive the maximum
amount of value out of their transactions by maximizing the benefits associated with product purchase.
100. Discuss positive and negative word-of-mouth (WOM).
ANSWER:
Answers will vary. The more satisfied consumers are with a company or product, the more likely they are to
spread positive WOM. If consumers believe strongly in a company and its products, they are more likely to
talk to others about it. Consumers are also more likely to spread WOM when a product is particularly
relevant to their own self-concept and when they are highly involved with the product category.Negative
WOM can be extremely damaging. This form of WOM is especially influential. Consumers tend to tell more
people about unsatisfactory experiences than pleasing ones.
