Treasure Hunting in a Mess! the Positive Un-Categorization Effect on Choice Evaluation
This research identifies the treasure hunting effect induced by un-categorized choice sets. In two studies, we demonstrate that un-categorized choice sets would increase the enjoyment of shopping experience, which in turn increase choice evaluation. Further, ideal point availability moderates the valence of this un-categorization effect.
