Good on Paper: How the Medium of Action Influences Self-Control
The present research explores the effect of using paper (vs. digital device) as a medium of action on self-control. We find that consumers perceive their actions on paper (vs. a digital device) as more as self-diagnostic and thus are more likely to exercise self-control for action performed on paper.
