Abstract

As a rapidly developing multidisciplinary research field, neuromarketing
offers great advantage to researchers in understanding the irrational
aspects of consumer behavior. Neuromarketing methods are used to
complement the classical marketing research methods for the analysis of
subconscious dimensions of consumers’ cognitive load which occurs in
the procurement process.
In communication age that we’re in now, there are many differences in
online purchasing behavior of consumer groups whom defined as 'digital
immigrants' and 'digital natives'. Literature shows that digital natives
who met internet as soon as their birth are really familiar to online
shopping technologies, but digital immigrants are still abstemious to
online transactions.
In this research, digital natives who are stay continuously online and
digital immigrants who are still in the process of adaptation to online
world were examined through 'stress levels'. In our study, both groups
were manipulated by using "web site load speed", which is the one of the
most important stress factors in online shopping and through this
stimulus the changes in their purchasing behavior were investigated.
Stress levels were analyzed via Galvanic Skin Conductance Response, as
one of the biometric measurement techniques, and the difference between
the two groups was determined by statistical methods. We assume that;
the difference between two groups’ stress levels, should be considered as
a clue to understand the effects of shopping sites’ technical
infrastructures on consumer decision making processes and online
shopping behaviour.

Abstract

Nöropazarlama, literatürde henüz çok yakın zamanda yer edinmesine karşın oldukça hızlı gelişen multidisipliner bir çalışma alanı olarak tanımlanmakta ve tüketici davranışlarının irrasyonel yönlerinin aydınlatılmasında araştırmacılara büyük avantaj sunmaktadır. Satınalma süreçlerinde tüketicilerin yürüttüğü bilişsel faaliyetlerin bilinç üstü ve bilinçaltı düzeylerdeki kırılmalarının tespiti için nöropazarlama yöntemlerinin kullanılması, klasik araştırma yöntemlerini destekleyici niteliği ve bireysel manipülasyona imkan vermemesi sebebiyle araştırmanın derinleştirilmesini mümkün kılmaktadır.
İçinde bulunduğumuz iletişim çağında, ‘dijital göçmenler’ ve ‘dijital yerliler’ olarak tanımlanan tüketici gruplarının online satın alma davranışlarında pek çok farklılık bulunmaktadır. Yapılan araştırmalar teknoloji ile doğar doğmaz tanışan dijital yerlilerin son derece alışkın
oldukları online alışverişe teknoloji ile erişkin dönemlerinde tanışan
dijital göçmenlerin daha mesafeli yaklaştığını göstermektedir. Bu
çalışmada sürekli çevrimiçi olmayı doğal kabul eden dijital yerliler ile
henüz adaptasyon sürecinde olan dijital göçmenlerin online alışveriş
süreçlerindeki tutumları ve süreci etkileyen faktörler ‘stres düzeyleri’
üzerinden incelenmiştir. Araştırmada her iki grup da online alışverişteki
önemli stres faktörlerinden biri olan “web sitesi yüklenme hızı”nın
uyaran olarak kullanılması ile manipüle edilmiş ve satın alma
davranışlarındaki değişimler araştırılmıştır.
Stres düzeyleri, biyometrik ölçüm tekniklerinden biri olan Galvanik Deri
İletkenliği Tepkisi kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve iki grup arasındaki fark
istatistiksel yöntemler kullanılarak tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen stres
düzeyleri farkının; hedef pazarı oluşturan iki temel grubun online
alışveriş alışkanlıklarının ve alışveriş sitelerinin teknik altyapılarının
tüketicinin satın alma kararı üzerindeki etkisinin anlaşılması için önemli
olduğu düşünülmektedir.
