Judgments of Virtue in Consumer Behavior
We investigate judgments of virtue in consumer behavior, and show that evaluations of virtue differ across two types of decisions. For intertemporal choice decisions (e.g., present self vs. future self), willpower determines judgments of virtue. However, for moral decisions (e.g., self vs. others), purity of character determines judgments of virtue.
