External Consumer Behavior Shoppers often zip through the snack aisle, spending only 42.7 seconds there, whereas they spend more than twice that in the coffee aisle. Only 34% of shoppers who don’t have baskets actually purchase something, while 75% of shoppers with baskets buy some items. A woman who shops with another woman spends twice as much time in the store than if she shops with a man.

Internal Consumer Behavior Cognition and Affect Examples: Country-of-origin effect, framing effect, and prospect theory.
