Managing Multiple Consumer Credits: Effects of Cognitive Load and Goal Representation on Repayment Strategies

The number of purchases financed by consumer credit as well as the number of open credit accounts consumers hold simultaneously is rising. Literature indicates that people do not repay multiple credits rationally, but show debt-account-aversion. We confirm suboptimal repayment behavior and document influence of cognitive load on repayment strategies.
