The Effect of Speed on Satisfaction: Expectation-Based and Salience-Based Counterfactuals

Counterfactuals thoughts can guide consumers emotional judgments and may be based on previous expectations regarding the event (McGraw, Mellers & Tetlock, 2005) or on cognitively salient alternatives (Medvec, Madey, & Gilovich, 1995). The present study suggests that salience-based counterfactuals are faster to compute than expectation-based counterfactuals.
