Demographics and Psychographics
According to Tsai and Lee, the internet revolution has placed a premium on identifying the ways in which demographics and psychographics affect consumer behaviors, and the acts of "price searching," and "price recall." Their thesis is that "there is a dynamic relationship in the ways that psychographics affects price-searching tendencies directly while demographics affect price-searching only "indirectly."
This relationship between price-searching tendencies tends to have a positive effect on "price recall," and is stronger when consumers buy discounted items.
