We study decisions that involve choosing between different numbers of options under time pressure using eye-tracking to monitor the search process subjects. find subjects are quite adept at optimizing within set items they see, initial is random in value, use a stopping rule terminate combines features optimal and satisficing, more often certain focal regions display, which leads choice biases.

Abstract Purpose The COVID-19 death-rate in Italy continues to climb, surpassing that every other country. We implement one of the first nationally representative surveys about this unprecedented public health crisis and use it evaluate Italian government’ efforts citizen responses. Findings (1) Public messaging is being heard. Except for slightly lower compliance among young adults, all subgroups we studied understand how keep themselves others safe from SARS-Cov-2 virus. Remarkably, even...
We conducted a large-scale survey covering 58 countries and over 100,000 respondents between late March early April 2020 to study beliefs attitudes towards citizens' governments' responses the COVID-19 pandemic.Most reacted strongly crisis: they report engaging in social distancing hygiene behaviors, believe that strong policy measures, such as shop closures curfews, are necessary.They also their government country's citizens not doing enough underestimate degree which others country support...
Abstract People are typically thought to be better off with more choices, yet often prefer choose from few alternatives. By considering the perceived benefits and costs of choice, it is proposed that satisfaction choice an inverted U‐shaped function number This proposition verified experimentally. It further hypothesized differences in cognitive affect relative location function's peak. Specifically, since—in large sets—perceptual processing alternatives varying shape greater than for color,...
We conducted a large-scale survey covering 58 countries and over 100,000 respondents between late March early April 2020 to study beliefs attitudes towards citizens' governments' responses at the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. Most reported holding normative in support containment measures, as well high rates adherence these measures. They also believed that their government country's citizens were not doing enough underestimated degree which others country supported strong behavioral policy...
During crises and disasters, such as hurricanes, terrorist threats, or pandemics, policymakers must often increase security at the cost of freedom. Psychological science, however, has shown that restriction freedom may have strong negative consequences for behavior health. We suggest psychology can inform policy both by elucidating some lost (e.g., depression behavioral reactance) revealing strategies to address them. propose four interlocking principles help restore freedom-security...
Whether consumers have too little, much, or the ideal amount of choice can profound consequences. The present research explores patterns deprivation (having less than desired) and overload more across six domains in countries that together provide home to about half human population (Brazil, China, India, Japan, Russia, United States; combined N = 7,436). In most countries, was norm—only States commonly reported. Deprivation also strongly related decreased satisfaction with choices overload,...
Consumer satisfaction and customer experience are key predictors of an organization's future market growth, long-term loyalty, profitability but hard to maintain in marketplaces with abundance choice.Building on self-determination theory, we experimentally test a novel intervention that leverages consumer need for autonomy.The is message called "freedom cue" (FC) which makes it salient consumers can "choose as much they wish."A 4-week field experiment sporting gear store establishes FCs lead...
Affective feelings exert a powerful influence on decision making, even when the source of those is incidental, i.e., unrelated to at hand. Research role affect in making has typically focused how incidental shapes evaluations an individual target, and thus decisions about engage with that target. It less clear, however, if individuals use their affective evaluating comparing multiple competing targets deciding which one choose. To investigate this, we modified Affect Misattribution Procedure...
Temporal discounting rate, the extent to which one values immediate rewards over larger future rewards, is typically considered a trait measure, with higher discount rates associated increased impulsivity. Given increasing lab-based evidence that may be sensitive context, including current affect, we developed novel approach measure in daily life. Participants ( N = 116, obs 4,112) completed 7-day experience sampling protocol, where they made an intertemporal choice at six random times...
Building on past research judgment anchoring, we investigate the effect of price information consumers' choice denomination when making a purchase. Across seven experiments, including two in field (N = 4,020), find that people tend to purchase with denominations are same as product prices. They use larger for higher priced products at value held, and smaller lower held. The is not explained by storage or convenience. We propose "price-denomination effect" driven consumers anchoring then...
