Summary
- People try to behave in ways that enable them to enjoy their lives, to relate to their friends
and families, and to contribute to society at large
- This is likely to involve consumption of products and services produced by other people

H2: decisions, behaviors and interactions

- When goals conflict, strongly active goals will inhibit competing goals until the stronger goal
has been achieved and the weaker or less active goal will re-emerge

Concepts

that are therefore seriously being considered for purchase
