Persuasion, Choices and Consumer Behaviour
Integrated within the Summer School Lisbon 2014 project, this programme exposes students to selected topics in consumer behaviour and the methodologies used in their research.
Ever wondered if subliminal messaging is possible? Can people be influenced outside of their conscious awareness? How well do you have to know someone/observe a situation to understand what is going on in it? How well are you able to deal with persuasion attempts? And why is it that tasks always end up taking longer than we thought they were going to? This programme turns to research in consumer behaviour for answers to these, and many other questions.
