We thus propose that online‐shopping contexts can prime low effort processing, which increase heuristic decisions, when compared with offline contexts. Four experimental studies test this hypothesis. Study 1 shows consumers expect spend fewer in online than decisions. Studies 2 4 show priming an (vs. offline) context increases reliance on cues probability judgments...
