Emotional Effects of Purchase Price-Reference Price Divergence
This research investigates consumers' discrete emotional responses to discrepancies between the actual price paid versus their maximum willingness to pay or the price they expected to pay. We report evidence that divergence from these different reference prices trigger specific emotions, which in turn distinctively affect consumers' behavioral intentions.
