 Digital Consumption and RisksAlfonso Pellegrino ()
Chapter Chapter 4 in Decoding Digital Consumer Behavior, 2024, pp 55-60 from Springer Abstract: Abstract This chapter delves into the psychological effects influencing consumer behavior in the digital marketplace, focusing on the certainty effect, loss aversion effect, insulation effect, and bandwagon effect. It highlights how consumers’ decisions are swayed by the perceived certainty of gains, the aversion to losses, the desire for uniqueness yet fear of isolation, and the influence of widespread adoption on individual choices. The text outlines strategies businesses employ to exploit these effects, enhancing consumer trust and encouraging online purchases. It underscores the importance of perceived risk management in digital transactions, covering aspects like security, performance, privacy, and service risks. By offering solutions such as transparent information practices, satisfaction guarantees, and leveraging customer feedback, companies can mitigate these perceived risks, fostering a safer and more trustworthy digital consumption environment. This chapter is essential for understanding the dynamics at play in digital consumer behavior and the strategic responses by businesses to navigate these complexities effectively.
