Guilt Makes You Refund More

The objective of this research is to explore the influence of guilt, unrelated to the shopping context, on consumption. When consumers encounter better deal, those who experienced guilt were more regretful about their purchase than others. Our finding suggests that guilt triggers corrective action and influences the post-purchase evaluation.
