Would Being Exposed to the High Shelf Make You Choose Chocolate More?
Building on the conceptual metaphor and the person-environment fit, this paper demonstrated the interplay between shelf position/height and dispositional power in determining consumer indulgent choice. High-power people chose chocolate more than low-power people when products were placed on the low position/shelf. The reverse was true for the high position/shelf. These results were mediated by positive feelings which may represent feelings when people are in their status comfort zone. A managerial implication is that a retail store should ensure that their atmosphere creates an experience that is in harmony with their target consumer’s disposition.
