The main goal aims to study decision-making through analysis that uses social science and cognitive psychology theories to create a complete understanding of consumer choices. Consumer decisions get influenced through mental processes that include perception together with memory functions and decision-making heuristics which cognitive science perspectives study. People usually make purchasing choices by using quick mental solutions but these strategies can produce incorrect or illogical outcomes. From a social science perspective the manner in which individuals form their behavior comes from outside elements such as group influence together with cultural norms and societal pressure. Social factors have dual effects on consumers because they impact consumer perception as well as their purchasing reasons. The research combines marketing principles with sociological knowledge to examine how various behavioral factors network to influence consumer decision making. The comprehension of these mechanisms enables marketers along with businesses and policymakers to develop superior approaches that serve customer requirements.
