Informational and Normative Social Influence in Buyer Behavior

Burnkrant, Robert E., Cousineau, Alain·1975·Journal of Consumer Research

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to clarify the nature of the influence active in most prior marketing research on the social influence process. Experimental subjects were exposed to evaluations of coffee which were attributed to either a similar or dissimilar source. These evaluations were high in uniformity, low in uniformity or of unknown uniformity. Subjects then tasted and evaluated the coffee. The subjects' evaluations were made either under a visible (identifiable) condition or an anonymous condition. The data supported a hypothesis of informational social influence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
