Uniformity Bias in Attribute Perception and Evaluation
The current research investigates Uniformity Bias, the tendency to treat alternatives as uniformly spaced regardless of actual spacing. In five studies we demonstrate that uniformity bias is produced by consumers using both cardinal and ordinal cues when valuing options, where ordinal cues are uniformly spaced (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd).
