How Order Affects People’S Choices in Sequences of Independent Predictions
Five studies (N = 3,380) show that consumers tend to predict that an unlikely outcome will occur later in a sequence of events, versus earlier (e.g., third vs. first). We hypothesize that this effect occurs because consumers believe an unlikely outcome should happen at some point, even among independent events.
