Addresses the topics of the psychology of deceptive persuasion in the marketplace and consumer self-protection. This book provides chapters that cover theoretical perspectives on deceptive persuasion; different types of deception tactics; how deception-minded marketers think; and, the nature of marketplace deception protection skills.This is the first scholarly book to fully address the topics of the psychology of deceptive persuasion in the marketplace and consumer self-protection. Deception permeates the American marketplace. Deceptive marketing harms consumers' health, welfare and financial resources, reduces people's privacy and self-esteem, and ultimately undermines trust in society. Individual consumers must try to protect themselves from marketers' misleading communications by acquiring personal marketplace deception-protection skills that go beyond reliance on legal or regulatory protections. Understanding the psychology of deceptive persuasion and consumer self-protection should be a central goal for future consumer behavior research.
