Abstract

The current research examines how different types of information representation mode (graphical vs. numerical) influence the compromise effect. We posit that the compromise effect will be relatively stronger in the graphical versus numerical information presentation mode. Four empirical studies reported in this research provide the following: (1) support for these predictions, (2) the moderating role of time pressure, and (3) the moderating role of explicit relational information for the above prediction. The empirical results reveal that individuals employ different kinds of information processing and judgments, depending on the type of information representation mode.

1
The decoy effect (or the attraction effect) is a situation where the addition of a new alternative in the choice set increases the choice of one of the existing alternatives, which dominates the new addition in the choice set (Huber et al. 1982).

A pretest (n = 76, 43% female, average age = 34.1 years) was conducted to check the manipulation of time pressure, in that participants in the time-pressure condition showed a higher level of perceived time pressure than those in the no time-pressure condition (M time_pressure = 5.42 vs. M no_time_pressure = 3.72; F (1, 68) = 103.76, p < .001), based on two 7-point scale items (1 = no time pressure/more than adequate time available, 7 = too much time pressure/not adequate time available, based on Suri and Monroe 2003).
