An experimental comparison of two commonly used delay-discounting procedures (binary choice and fill in the blank) and modes of administration (paper and pencil and computer based) was conducted. Statistically significant main effects were found for task type--steeper discounting was observed in the binary-choice task--but not for mode of administr...

This paper extends the Behavioral Ecology of Consumption, a foraging theory model of human decision-making in an online environment, in a replication and extension of previous online foraging research. Participants shopped for music CDs in a simulated internet mall featuring five virtual music stores with delay to in-stock feedback of 2, 4, 8, 16,...

This meta-analysis examines the influence of electronic communication media on group idea generation tasks. Data from the following three areas of the brainstorming literature are synthesized to assess differences across performance variables and group member satisfaction: (1) electronic brainstorming (EBS) groups versus traditional face-to-face (F...

Consumers shopped for compact disks in a simulated Internet mall in a successive-choice procedure over 10 sessions. The procedure extended that of two previous consumer behavior experiments [DiClemente & Hantula, Psychol. Market. (in press); Rajala & Hantula, Managerial Decis. Econom. 21 (2000) 145] by assessing the influence of pricing on consumer...

... On top of that, price is another stimulus that most consumers consider when making an online purchase [13,14]. In the online shopping context, price profoundly affects consumers' satisfaction variables [15]. There is, nevertheless, currently little research on studying the impact of price on online reviews. ...
... However, little empirical research has been devoted to examining how they might do so. Existing approaches rely on limiting direct and immediate interactions among group members to reduce inhibitory effects of the group, such as writing ideas rather than exchanging them verbally [45,72], and sharing ideas through a computer asynchronously and anonymously [22]. Other approaches rely on problem reduction techniques, such as task-decomposition [21] to direct group members to explore subcategories of the problem [47]. ...
... Same form test-retest reliability for delay discounting was high over several weeks or even one year (Anokhin, Golosheykin, et al., 2015;Kirby, 2009;Martí nez-Loredo et al., 2017;Simpson & Vuchinich, 2000). The relative endurance of delay discounting is also indicated by moderate-tolarge correlations between delay discounting measured with different methods (Robles et al., 2009;Smith & Hantula, 2008) or under other incentive conditions (Johnson & Bickel, 2002), indicating good alternate-form test-retest reliability. ...
... By offering discounts with cash payments to customers instead of credit or debit, stores help customers, and their own businesses save extra costs. As in previous research on consumer selection (DiClemente & Hantula, 2003;Fagerstrøm et al., 2016;Hantula et al., 2008;Hantula & Bryant, 2005), When the implications of a consumer's selection are delayed or uncertain, discounting is a critical consideration. ...
