Expectation-Based Effects of Common Attributes on Choice
We investigate how consumers make tradeoffs in the presence versus absence of non-differentiating attributes. We propose that non-differentiating attributes can favor a particular alternative in the set because consumers judge performance on that attribute not based on face value, but based on the difference between face and expected value instead.
