Web Lecture 5
In web lecture 5 it was interesting to read the section on emotion and persuasion. It was interesting to read about the car example. When I purchased my first car I knew what I wanted so it didn’t take much persuasion of the car salesperson. I was also emotional after I about the car, but that was because I had put my self in some debt and at the time was 17 years old and didn’t really know what I had gotten myself in to. It was also interesting to read if you were a happy person then you were more optimistic about persuasive messages. If you are a sad or angry person you tended to be more closely to weak persuasive messages which the happy individuals tended to ignore.

I agree that if you all ready want something it does not take much persuasion. The other day I went to buy new glasses and I already knew the ones I wanted and the sales person showed me them first and I was like ok I want those and the sales person was like do you want to look around more lol. It was also interesting to read about how you percieve messages if your a happy or angry person. I am more of a happy person so I always look on the bright side and I guess I am more optimistic about persuasive messages.
