Furthermore, the ad money for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of consumers seemingly unreasonab
30、le resistance to the product. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producer suspected that there might be deeper reasons, however.

The seventh item, in fifth place on both lists, read “one pound Maxwell House coffee“ on the list and “Nescafe instant coffee“ on the other. One list was given to each one in
32、a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in the other group of the same size. The women were asked to study their list and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffe
33、e described a housewife who was lazy. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was probably not a good wife.
