0:00:01a that finally
0:00:03is it going to go got some bottom
0:00:15agonies from a young these from the department of marketing within the factory a business
0:00:19and economics
0:00:21the spacious exposed to use of behavioural psychology to examine the consumer sense of ever
0:00:26and how it affects the decision making
0:00:28the title is more power or problems
0:00:31here ready to go
0:00:34i
0:00:35i need to be my friend up there will
0:00:39he's like us in most ways when it comes to buying you can choose what
0:00:42he wants to buy or to buy from and he expects businesses to listen to
0:00:46what he has to say
0:00:48in short he's an empowered consumers
0:00:51now we don't has a problem though
0:00:53some market there's don't like it
0:00:55they see that colourful customers like well you are too demanding in very unreasonable when
0:01:00they don't get what they want
0:01:02or my thesis as the question really is this true as power in a sense
0:01:07corrupted my friend william there
0:01:09so i don't think so together with my supervisor we set up an experiment one
0:01:14over three hundred and fifty people and we use the technique called experiential power prime
0:01:21sorry know what that means simply is that we take on the both people and
0:01:25we inspire them to feel more powerful and we do the opposite to another group
0:01:29of people and make them feel powerless we then ask
0:01:33what would you do if a service disappoints you
0:01:36no but we saw no
0:01:37was really interesting
0:01:39so in one study we ask both groups what if you order the silent but
0:01:43it had kind of fillers on that
0:01:45now naturally both groups feel of set was just as i thought it's not the
0:01:50powerful group but the problem thus once one more angry and more likely to complain
0:01:55and that this it's not we're
0:01:56in a formal study about compensation we discovered that compensating the policy actually increases their
0:02:03aggressiveness was the company
0:02:06well i
0:02:07well what we found was that when consumers like willie of experience power base feel
0:02:12superior like change
0:02:14what good benevolent and responsible kings
0:02:18because as kings they feel like their actions matter to goes around the that's why
0:02:24they are more considerate and more mindful of what they do
0:02:27but be powerless is like being weak helpless exploited as it
0:02:32nobody wants to feel like that right
0:02:35and what the presence do window take back their power the ground or pitchforks and
0:02:39the right
0:02:41and that's what consumers are doing aggressiveness the was a company is their way of
0:02:45breaking free from powerless
0:02:48so
0:02:48this can lead to more problems
0:02:51my answer is a counterintuitive no it's the opposite
0:02:55and from that my conclusion of this is this message that for business
0:03:01don't be afraid of the customers empower them so we can fairly and make them
0:03:06feel like they matter
0:03:08when you do your return the favour
0:03:11i giver
