Where Does My Time Go?! the Trap of Segregated Resources
This project showed that time follows reversed arithmetic rules of mental accounting. Through hypothetical questionnaires that measured WTP, WTA, willingness to wait, level of irritation, we find that aggregated (vs. segregated) time was preferred, and participants have a higher WTA and WTP for the aggregated time losses and time gains.
