TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of expectations of product attribute levels and purchase-related outcomes is discussed as an important but largely neglected area in consumer behavior research, and a general framework for the formation process is formed, and propositions for a research agenda are suggested.

TL;DR: In this article, a causal modeling approach is applied to secondary data measuring retail supply in rural and urban areas, and an explicit test of validity proposes a four-dimensional measurement model of retail satisfaction.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for documenting cases of individual tax evasion without compromising confidentiality is described, and the results of an investigation in The Netherlands indicated negligible correspondence between scores on this measure and self-reports of tax evasion behavior.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of tax evasion and noncompliance is presented with an emphasis on distinguishing between those variables that instigate the behavior and those that act as constraints against its occurence.

TL;DR: This paper found that the taxpayers' attitudes toward risk could be affected by whether they perceive a tax payment as reduced income or as a loss, and the magnitude of the tax savings and penalty structure.

TL;DR: A survey of 271 Christchurch residents revealed that costs of the previous year were underestimated while those of 15 years previously were overestimated as discussed by the authors, indicating that past costs are not remembered but estimated in a general way.

TL;DR: This paper examined whether the initial frame continues to influence responses of a given subject even after the frame is changed, and found that the effect of the original frame apparently perseveres despite subsequent changes in the frame.

TL;DR: The results show that utilization patterns vary according to prior knowledge, household structure and length of ownership, and implications are drawn for further research in the area of household/technology interaction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the social bases of perceptions and attitudes regarding taxes and the tax system and found that tax consciousness is not simply a result of the technicalities of tax collection as is often assumed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new stochastic multidimensional unfolding (Coombs 1964) methodology which operates on paired comparison consumer preference or choice data and renders a spatial representation of both consumers and the products or brands they choose.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use interpersonal theories of personality development to investigate the formation of the preferences of the individual consumer, and explore the relationship between economics and psychology by using specific psychoanalytic theories of the internalization of interpersonal relations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the effects of agradual versus a more dramatic increase in prior consumer expectations on post-trial evaluation and purchase intention through subjects' exposure to a one-sided or two-sided refutational appeal.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present for the four main EC countries forecasting models of aggregate demand components based on various tendency surveys, which are to be used regularly for very short-term forecasting.

TL;DR: An analytical survey of man-machine interactive procedures is presented in this article, where a decision maker's capabilities to carry out some information processing operations are discussed and their estimations from a psychological point of view are suggested.

TL;DR: This article found that coin size estimation is influenced by the subject's attitude towards the coin in question, that inflation and actual value of the coin are not only determinants of that attitude, and that the attitude remains unchanged if the coin is removed from circulation.

TL;DR: This article employed a risk taking scale, similar to that developed by Zuckerman, to empirically investigate Keynes's precautionary demand for money, and found that this scale might successfully be applied to other economics subfields in which risk plays a role.

TL;DR: The degree of correspondence that actually obtains between intentions and behavior remains controversial as discussed by the authors, and two opposing views can be distinguished: the cognitive perspective associated with Fishbein and Ajzen (1975) holds that intentions will be the best predictor of consumer spending, while the behaviorist perspective associated by Foxall (1983) rejects the value of intention measures.

TL;DR: The authors examined adolescents' allocations of financial rewards to workers who varied according to their effort, ability, outcome (productivity) and skin color and found that South Africans rewarded effort more than black.

TL;DR: The authors developed a model of preference which does not require an assumption of transitivity, and which can be readily implemented empirically using data on paired comparisons, and the forecasting ability of their proposed model is compared with alternatives.

TL;DR: This paper examined the effect of subjective economic experience on consumer behavior in the U.S. and found that consumer behavior reflected two kinds of orientations -a strategic and a tactical one.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the two wage models on a 1983 data set of the 100 highest paid American chief executive officers and find that the data appears to support the neoclassical economic model; while, the psychological model is not fully rejected.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison is made between two alternatives for explaining family size decisions: a psychological model based on the individual needs of the spouses and a social psychological model for the husband-wife relationship.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that changing the positive or negative price of an activity does not unambiguously determine the demand for and the supply of this commodity, and by this means, the price of the activity turns out to be effective psychologically and not economically.

TL;DR: In this article, a preference design from a study on attendance at an international exposition in Australia was used to identify dominance in a subset of all possible pairs, and use this in two test of choice consistency to identify the extent of illogicality in choice, which can be used to point to subgroups who may have difficulty in comprehending controlled experimental instruments, and/or are not rational in the sense defined by our models of behaviour.

TL;DR: This paper found that the general public's attitudes about whether their financial situation is or would get better, when looked at from present and future perspectives, were predictive of stock market activity, while investors' intent to invest in stocks and bonds were not.
