Kim, Hye-Young and Urminsky, Oleg (2018) Want to stick to your goals? think about “dissimilar” alternatives that you’ve forgone! In: Association for Consumer Research Conference, 2018-10-11 - 2018-10-14, Dallas, Dallas, United States.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Past research demonstrates that thinking about forgone alternatives influences utility from a chosen option. Consumers obtain higher utility when choosing a virtue from a mixed set that contains both vices and virtues than choosing from a homogeneous set that only contains virtuous options (Dhar & Wertenbroch, 2012). Further, Sagi and Friedland (2007) suggest that when choosing from diverse alternatives, evaluations of a chosen option depend on the summed utility of all of the unchosen alternatives, not just the second-best alternative’s utility.
