Looking Up Or Looking Down Makes You Indulge More: the Fit Between Store Shelf Cues and Consumer Dispositional Power

This paper demonstrates the interplay between height at which a product is placed on a shelf and consumer dispositional power in determining indulgent choice. Two experiments support that high-power consumers choose indulgent options more often if placed on low (vs. high) shelf positions, the opposite is true for low-power consumers.
