The Effect of Regulatory Focus on Satisfaction
In two experiments we show that the motivation and manner with which a consumer makes a decision influences satisfaction. Specifically, individuals with a promotion focus experience greater levels of satisfaction, as a result of positive disconfirmation, than those individuals with a prevention focus. Also, individuals with a promotion focus experience greater dissatisfaction as a result of negative disconfirmation. These findings provide convergent evidence of the effects of regulatory focus on decision-making. More importantly, our findings show that the motivational dimensions of consumer decision-making influence satisfaction.
