Effect of Product Categorization on Consumer Thinking Style
In this research, we examine the effect of product categorization associated with a cognitive information-based processing. Across six studies, we show that categorization induces a more rational thinking style, increases the time consumers are willing to spend in the store and increases the number of products they buy.
