The Secondary research investigates the customer behaviour, especially in the context of social commerce. It highlights the relevance of emotional and cognitive responses to elements like influencer endorsement, branded content, and user-generated content in influencing purchasing behaviour. On reviewing the literature, the paper synthesis, the roles of emotional arousal, attention, and memory in the process of consumer engagement and decision-making. The tools of neuromarketing, eyetracking, EEG, and facial coding tools helps analyse the patterns of consumer responses to the content of social commerce.
