How Explicit and Implicit Reliance on the “Unattractive Produce = More Natural” Lay Theory Affects Consumer’S Choice of Unattractive Produce

We demonstrate that when people’s implicit and explicit reliance on unattractive = more natural belief (UMNB) is incongruent, they form the highest choice of unattractive produce. This is because implicit-explicit incongruence spontaneously leads to deliberations, which further corrects for negative and bias of intuitive preference for beautiful and attractive produce.
