Multiple Choice

Meghan is deciding among three different brands of televisions to purchase.

Picture quality and price are the most important attributes to her, followed by HDMI inputs and warranty. She then rated how she thought each of the three brands performed on those attributes. Because Meghan is a marketing professor, she actually calculated a score for each brand that represents her attitude toward that specific brand. Which approach is Meghan applying?

A) elaboration likelihood model
B) behavioural intention model
C) multiplicative model of attitude (MMA)
D) attitude-toward-the-object (ATO) model
