Abstract
Emotions can organize cognitive processes or disorganize them, be
active or passive, lead to adaptation or maladaptation. Consumers may
be conscious of their emotions or may be motivated by unconscious
emotions. The emotions in combined form with different intensities have
an adaptive significance in consumers’ lives. Further, the challenges that
marketers and researchers face in today’s global markets are to under-
stand the expression of the emotions or consumer emotional experience.
Therefore, the purpose of this book is to emphasize the value of emotions
and explore mental behavioral and emotional dimensions that affect
consumers of all age groups, societies, and cultures. This book would be
an excellent reference for students, executives, marketers, researchers, and
trainers. It includes the different elements of emotion, evidence of how
emotions govern and organize consumer life, and emotional and individ-
ual functioning, including psychological disorders and well being.
Keywords
