题目:Medium Anxiety Effect

摘要:

In this research we found a medium anxiety effect in which people discount a delayed gift certificate more than a delayed product. Through a series of lab and field experiment, this effect held for different elicitation methods (matching, choice, and ratings), product types (utilitarian and hedonic), temporal frames (deferring and expediting), and in both hypothetical and real behavior. The medium anxiety effect occurred because a gift certificate is a medium that entails greater uncertainty due to the additional procedures required to realize the consumption of the final product. Such uncertainty further increased impatience. Theoretical contributions and business and real world implications are discussed.
