Crush on You: Romantic Crush Increases Consumers’ Preferences For Strong Sensory Stimuli
We show that romantic crush could enhance consumers’ subsequent preference for products or services that elicit stronger (vs. weaker) sensory stimulation (e.g., a louder store music, a more strongly-flavored food). This is because people in a romantic crush have an unsatisfied desire for sensory stimulations from their desired social target.
