Marketing psychology is the study of how cognitive biases, emotions, and social influences shape consumer decision-making, drawing on principles like scarcity, social proof, reciprocity, and anchoring. Marketers and brand strategists apply it to craft messaging, pricing, and design that resonate with how people actually think rather than how they claim to think. It underlies techniques used in advertising copywriting, UX design, and conversion rate optimization.
