This May Take a While: Differences in Difficulty of Recall Between Hedonic and Eudaimonic Purchases
Is all happiness remembered equally? Given cognitive differences between hedonia (pleasure-oriented happiness) and eudaimonia (meaning-oriented happiness), three studies investigate the cognitive challenge of eudaimonic vs. hedonic purchases. Findings show that consumers tend to associate happiness with hedonic purchases, partly because they are easier to recall than eudaimonic purchases.
