The Days-Of-The-Week Effect in Temporal Judgments

Six studies examine how inclusion of days-of-the-week information in descriptions of temporal periods (e.g. “ordered today, delivered on Thursday, February 4th” vs. “ordered today, delivered on February 4th”) affects consumer judgments. We show that the days-of-the-week framing prompts consumers to rely on narrow-span temporal scales and elongates temporal duration perceptions.
