Exploring the Links Between Action Crises, Cognitions, and Goal-Related Evaluations in Consumer Contexts

Across four experiments, this research explores the nature of action crisis cognitions. A mindset-like shift toward cost-benefit cognitions seems to co-occur with action crisis situations despite shielding and implemental cognitive tuning. Action crisis downwardly influences goal evaluations of desirability and feasibility which in turn decreases consumer commitment to goals.
