The Effects of Subjective Knowledge and Naïve Theory on Consumers’ Inference of Missing Information

Three experiments are conducted to investigate how consumers’ subjective knowledge influence the inference base used to make an inference and to reveal the correction effects of their naïve theory on the inferred results. The correction effect is noticeable on knowledgeable consumers.
