Stacy is likely to search for very little information because there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between a consumer's perceived knowledge level and information search behavior.
Stacy is likely to search for a lot of information because there is no relationship between a consumer's perceived knowledge level and information search behavior.
Stacy is likely to search for a lot of information because there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between a consumer's perceived knowledge level and information search behavior.
Answer:
Stacy is likely to search for very little information because there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between a consumer's perceived knowledge level and information search behavior.
Step-by-step explanation:
The inverted u-shaped relationship means that Stacy has gotten to the knowledge level point(expert) where there is no longer a lot of arousal to continue to boost her interest to search for a lot of information on the product. The U-shaped curve means that she reaches a peak in search behavior as defined by her knowledge level from which her search behavior for jump drives begins to decrease.
