dc.description.abstractThe ability for decision framing to produce seeming preference reversals during decision tasks is an important finding in the decision making literature. However, previous studies examining this issue have not readily addressed whether framing a decision as a choice or a rejection influences the mean preference and/or variability in preference. Using a choice modelling framework, this paper considers this issue in a sequence of four studies. It demonstrates that framing a decision as a choice or a rejection influences both mean utility and the variability in utility (a measure of preference) in a systematic manner, and it uncovers the mechanisms that drive this phenomenon. The implications for both how we understand consumer decisions and common methods for modelling consumer choice are discussed.
