Abstract

Competition Consumer behavior Information Market prices Motivation Studies
Results from four studies show that sorting products on descending prices can impede assessment of sacrifice as it constrains cognitive resources available to process target information. Such negative impact of descending prices vis-a-vis ascending prices was however apparent only when participants had high motivation to process information.
