The Impact of Product Type on Disposal Intentions
We show that consumers are more likely to recycle (vs. trash) hedonic (vs. utilitarian) products. Different mechanisms drive this effect for hedonic and utilitarian products. For hedonic products, the effect attenuates when a guilt-reducing cue is provided. For utilitarian products, the effect gets stronger when the product is worn out.
