Abstract

In decision making in economic behavior, information about price and quality is compiled and evaluated. This chapter focuses on the psychology behind price judgment. How do people organize and understand information such as prices psychologically? The concept of mental accounting is relevant to answer this question. This chapter addresses phenomena related to mental accounting. The problem of mental accounting is also closely related to the concepts of psychological purse and mental ruler. Furthermore, the concepts of mental accounting, psychological purse, and mental ruler can be interpreted as a manifestation of a phenomenon called “framing” in decision making. In this chapter, the problems of mental accounting and framing are interpreted especially by using the mental ruler model.
