Five Rogers diffusion characteristics that affect consumer adoption are sometimes referred to as which term?

• A. Product generations
• B. Relative advantage
• C. Observability
• D. Trial-ability

Answer: (A)

These are commonly described as the perceived attributes of innovations. The five attributes—relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability—shape how quickly people adopt new ideas. A product is adopted faster if it clearly offers benefits over current practices, fits with users’ routines, isn’t too hard to use, can be tried on a small scale, and shows visible results. This lens helps designers and marketers assess and influence diffusion by highlighting where an innovation shines or where it may face resistance.
