Propositions for motive-based temporal dynamics

P1Preference matching will be greater when personalisation results match the drivers of the currently active fundamental motive
P2A given fundamental motive can be activated in the web environment through external cues, such as the following:
 A: visual cues (e.g. website background picture)
 B: semantic cues (e.g. newspaper article content)
 C: auditory cues (e.g. music)
P3The greater the user’s awareness of the cues, the stronger the priming effect for the activation of a fundamental motive
P4The higher the cultural congruence between the prime and any product or promotion features in relation to the drivers of the currently active fundamental motive, the stronger the priming effect and the preference match
P5Regarding individual differences in chronic-like motives, users are more susceptible to cues for certain motives than others
