The Effect of Money Priming on Variety Seeking- Activating the Concept of Money Increases Variety Seeking

Our findings suggest that money priming increases variety seeking amongst consumers by inducing one’s orientation to the long-term.

These findings carry significant theoretical and practical implications.
