Social Dynamics: You Are Who You’re With
Social Dynamics: You Are Who You’re With
This chapter examines one of nine critical forces behind purchase decisions that make mobile advertising so powerful: social dynamics. Recent studies have shown that the social company we keep changes our behavior. This is our social context. Beyond our individual location at any given time, our social context influences how we interact in real life as part of a group of friends, as a couple, or with family members. And these behaviors are fundamentally different than how we behave when we are on our own. The chapter discusses the impact of social dynamics on mobile purchases, the importance of group composition, and digging deeper into consumers' personalities.
