An Analysis of Hyperopic Consumers’ Perception of Indulgence Behaviors
In this study of “hyperopia” (i.e., an aversion to indulgence) we examine how different construal levels of restriction goals influence hyperopic consumers’ perceptions of indulgence behaviors. We propose a multiple-level construal level setting to examine this phenomenon. Preliminary results show that hyperopic consumers are less likely to indulge when their restriction goals are construed at “high” rather than “low” level. However, when their restrictions are construed at higher or “ultimate” level, hyperopic consumers feel it easier to indulge than when the goals are construed at just a “high” level.
