Stumbled Upon: Impact of Framing As Expected Versus Unexpected on Product Evaluations
Framing a product feature as unexpected (serendipitous discovery) versus expected (intentional development) has targeted positive impact on desire-related product evaluations (e.g., willingness-to-pay), but not on non-desire-related product evaluations (e.g., perceived effectiveness). We argue that this is because unexpected framing enhances reward salience and show moderation by reward sensitivity.
