Consumer Neoteny

Abstract: This research explores childlike consumer behavior from an evolutionary perspective. More specifically, it uses the concept of neoteny to show that the retention of ancestors' juvenile characteristics is related to specific behaviors. The results of factor analyses conducted on a UK sample (n ¼ 499) and a French sample (n ¼ 292) 7 years later indicate four dimensions of childlike consumer behavior, namely, stimulus seeking, reality conflict, escapism, and control of aggression.

“…Humans are learning animals" (p. 333). More recently, Alemany Oliver (2016), a professor of marketing in France, used neoteny to explain human behavior as consumers. He conducted a study on consumer behavior in the United Kingdom and another in France and concludes in his article that four dimensions of consumer behavior are "childlike" and are "partly explained by neoteny": "stimulus-seeking (or the need for arousal), reality conflict, escapism, and control of aggression [meaning 'lack of aggressive control']" (p. 6).…”

“…Bu çalışmada tüketici neotenisi olgusu incelenmekte ve çocuksu ürün tasarımını tüketicilerin değerlendirmesine etkisi araştırılmaktadır. Alemany Oliver (2016)'in önerdiği tüketici neotenisi ölçeği açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yardımıyla geçerlilik ve güvenirlilik açısından çalışma kapsamında değerlendirilmektedir. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda tüketici neotenisi ölçeğinin Alemany Oliver (2016)'in önerdiği gibi dört boyuttan oluştuğu gözlemlenmektedir.…”

“…Tüketicilerin çocuksu karakterde olması, Alemany Oliver (2016) tarafından geliştirilen tüketici neotenisi ölçeğiyle ölçülmektedir. Ölçekte verilen 17 ifadeye cevaplayıcıların kendilerini değerlendirdiklerinde katılma dereceleri sorulmaktadır (1=kesinlikle katılmıyorum, 2=katılmıyorum, 3=ne katılıyorum ne de katılmıyorum, 4=katılıyorum, 5=kesinlikle katılıyorum).…”

“…Customer Satisfaction Satisfaction [9], [10], [11], [12], comes from the Latin word "satis" which means good enough or adequate and "facio" means to do or make. According to Oliver [13], customer satisfaction is an evaluation of surprises inherent or inherent in the acquisition of products and / or consumption experience. Tse & Wilton [14] defines customer satisfaction / dissatisfaction as the customer's response to the evaluation of disconfirmation that is perceived between the initial expectation before purchase (or other performance norms) and the actual performance of the product perceived after the use or consumption of the product concerned.…”
