Together Or Separate? a Psychological Ownership Account of Bundling Effect

This research shows that bundling related products together can enhance spontaneous mental imagery of using the products, which leads to greater perceived psychological ownership of the products and higher product valuation. The effect is attenuated when cognitive resources for mental imagery are constrained or when ownership is already acquired.
