Modiwl PCP-3010:
Consumer Psychology: Theory

Ffeithiau’r Modiwl

Rhedir gan School of Human and Behavioural Sciences

20.000 Credydau neu 10.000 Credyd ECTS

Semester1

Trefnydd: Dr Caroline Bowman

Amcanion cyffredinol

Consumer Psychology: Theory will provide students with an advanced insight into the role of psychology in consumer behaviour. In class, students will tour the major ways in which humans can be drawn to certain companies and specific brands, and will start analysing how and why humans connect with, for example, the John Lewis Christmas adverts, why they develop preferences for Coke rather than Pepsi, and why panic buying swept the world at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. In the weekly blogging assignment, students will act as consumer psychologists, explaining the phenomena within consumer behaviour that are of interest to them – this could be anything, from analysing the impact of Instagram Influencers, to exploring the ethics associated with using in-store atmospherics (from music, to scents, to lighting), to the application of neuromarketing in the real world, and beyond.

Cynnwys cwrs

Indicative content may include:

Introduction to Consumer Psychology: Welcome, course outline (including assessments), and what is consumer psychology?

Meini Prawf

dda

Good would approximate to the B grades:

Blogs & Exam: Student provided a comprehensive response. Material was well-organised and well-structured. There was clear evidence of a good understanding of the material, and that a deeper understanding of material presented in lectures had been achieved due to relevant further reading and self-study. There was some evidence of appropriate critical appraisal and discussion, and some evidence of novel synthesis between psychology and the consumer world was presented.

rhagorol

Excellent would approximate to the A grades:

Blogs & Exam: Student provided a comprehensive and accurate response, with sound clarity of argument and expression. Distinction-level answers evidenced a depth of insight into material presented in lectures, and relevant further and additional reading. Appropriate critical appraisal of evidence and discussion of material supported all responses. Novel application of psychological understanding to consumer issues was clearly evident (synthesis) throughout response(s), and was relevant, appropriate and interesting.

trothwy

Threshold would approximate to the D grades:

Blogs & Exam: Student provided answers that were largely based on lecture material with little evidence of essential reading. No real development of arguments, critical evaluation or evidence of study beyond the basics (basics = lecture material and essential reading). Structure and organisation of material was adequate, but there were obvious omissions and/or inaccuracies in some of the material presented.

C- i C+

The C grades:

Blogs & Exam: Student provided an adequate response, but answers were largely based on lecture material and essential reading, with no real development of arguments, critical evaluation or evidence of study beyond the basics (basics = lecture material and essential reading). Structure and organisation of material was adequate.

EXAM Final Exam

Students will sit this two-hour exam during the assessment period in January 2022. The exam will be in two sections: Section 1: Students will answer 3 from 6 'unseen' short-answer questions. Answers will be around half of one A4 side of paper in length. Questions will assess breadth of knowledge from across the module. Section 2: Students will answer 1 from 6 'seen' essay questions. Answers will be around 2-3 A4 sides of paper in length. Essay answers will showcase specialist knowledge acquired from studying specific topics in depth, and will illustrate an advanced understanding of psychological theory and its synthesis and application to consumer behaviour.

50.00
INDIVIDUAL BLOG Blogging Assignment

Students will submit a weekly blog throughout semester 1 (8 blogs will be submitted in total). Blogs will examine topics of interest to students from within the consumer world, and each blog will be explored in terms of psychological theory/research, and will aim to synthesise existing knowledge in novel/progressive ways. Each blog will be around 200-300 words in length (no specific word count). Students will also interact with blogs written by others from the class, and will respond to those blogs by leaving comments. Final blog grade will be comprised of a composite grade from half of the submitted weekly blogs. All blogs will be submitted by the end of Week 12.

FEEDBACK SESSIONS: To support weekly lectures, students may voluntarily attend two-hour weekly drop-in sessions which will run in the lecturer's office. Students may attend sessions if they require support with regard to any aspect of the course. Sessions will be student-led so that students have the opportunity to receive feedback specific to their own progress and achievement. Students should note that during feedback sessions the lecturer will not cover new content, summarise entire lectures that students may have missed, or read blog entries or 'seen' essays in entirety.

24
Lecture

Weekly two-hour lectures will take place in weeks 1-5 and 7-10, and a revision lecture will be delivered in week 11. Lectures will cover core content and will be delivered in a traditional style. The revision lecture will re-examine key topics, and in addition to helping students prepare for the final exam, 'seen' final exam essay questions will be released in this session. In week 12, there will be an additional drop-in session during the lecture time to provide support with the end of the blogging assignment and to help students prepare for the exam subsequent to the release of the seen essay questions.

22
Private study

Students should expect to complete 154 hours of self-study in order to achieve the learning outcomes for this module. Self-study will take the form of essential (+ further and additional) reading, blog and comment writing, and preparation for the final exam. In addition to attending classes and voluntary feedback sessions (as required), students should be spending approximately 10 hours each week during term-time engaging in blog-writing, reading and revision for this module.
