NEIGHBOURS INFLUENCE BUYING DECISIONS
Trang 2
Trang 3However objective we believe ourselves to be, most of us do not judge a product solely on its merits, considering quality, value and style before making a decision (31) , we are easily influenced by the people around us.
There is nothing (32) with us It is probably a smater way to make decisions than relying on only our own opinions But it does make life hard for companies They have long understood that groups of friends and relatives tend to buy the same products, but understanding the reasons has been striky It is because they are so similar with (33) _
to how much money they make and what television ads they watch that they independently arrive at the same decision? Or do they copy one another, perharps (34) envy or perhaps because they have shared information about the products?

a car, the chances that that person would buy a car of the same brand during the next week The researchers argued that it was not just a (35) _ of envy Used cars seemed to attract neighbours even more than new cars.

A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone In many coditions, such as flying at night and landing
in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving
The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when on shouts in a cave The echo
of the sounds against the wall helps a person determine the size of the cave With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second A radar set sends out a short burst
of radiation waves Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off
objects By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects The word
"radar," in fact, gets its name from the term "radio detection and ranging." "Ranging" is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.

Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a
hindrance, and may even cause harm These studies have disclosed that the judgments of
interviewers differ markedly and bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job
applicants Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three in particular stand out The
first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect If a person has one
noticeable good trait , their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are.
Thus, an individual who dresses smartly and shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable
of doing a job well regardless of his or her real ability
Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect This error occurs when
interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information Hence, in an
interview situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the
impression given by the candidate in the first few moments Studies have repeatedly
demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant
The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers A
suitable candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who
appears exceptionally intelligent Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who
gives a weak showing may be judged as more suitable than he or she really is
Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other
selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability Of
the various tests devised, the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive
ability as measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests
