2. Literature Reviews & Theoretical Framework(Chapter two introduces the theoretical framework and the relevant theories in used, which support to analyze the empirical findings in chapter four)2.1 Previous studiesSeveral different approaches have been made to explain consumer behavior concerning private labels. Most studies examined private label consumer behavior in association with demographic and socio economic characteristics. However attitude and behavioral characteristic are also highlighted as important determinates of store brand proneness than demographic and socio-economic characteristic (Baltas, 1997). Consumer previous knowledge and experience have greater extent to process the brand, but it depends on the weight of consumer prior knowledge and cognitive ability (Bettman,J.R and Park,C.W., 1980).And other researchers proved that perceptions of quality and products are influencing individuals buying behavior prior to demographic, psychological and shopping behavior (Szymanski,DM. and Busch PS, 1987). Whereas familiarity with store brand, extrinsic cues (such as price and package), perceived quality variation, perceived risk, and perceived value for money, income and family size are example of factors influencing own-label proneness (Richardson,P.S,Jain,A.K and Dick ,A, 1996) .Additional study also showed the difference perception of consumers in the marketing stimuli results different in action of purchasing behavior (Livesey, F; Lennon, P., 1978) .This thesis considered various variables referred by the aforementioned researchers and examined possible relations within them in order find out consumer behavior toward the low price PLBs of food retailer.
2.2 Theoretical framework
After reviewing different researches concerning buying behavior of PLBs, the own creation of the theoretical framework was formed. It was believed that the framework consists of main attributes that have impact on purchase intention of ICA Basic. As it can be seen in the Figure 1, attitude is the foremost factor that influences consumers, those who are satisfied with the brand, product quality and price have a positive attitude towards the PLBS whereas dissatisfied consumers have a negative attitudes on purchase intention (Siti & Pan) & (Baltas, 1997). This study designed the framework in consideration to three main factors that have impact on changing attitude of consumers those are intrinsic cue, extrinsic cue and demographic factors. Intrinsic cue is physical attributes of the product (perceived value, perceived quality and perceived risk) whereas extrinsic cue are product related attributes (brand, perceived price, advertisement and WOM), (Collins-Dodd & Lindley, 2003) , (Siti &
Pan) and (Richardson,P.S,Jain,A.K and Dick ,A, 1996). Understanding these variables is important for this study since they have a significant influence on buying behavior.
