| Description | Exposing a person to certain numerical value (an anchor) shortly before they are asked to decide, has been previously shown to influence people’s willingness-to-pay decisions. This paper investigates the anchoring effect on subjects‘ willingness to pay for product repair. To compare three different anchoring strategies, an experiment with 128 participants was conducted. Additionally, this paper investigates the relationship between anchoring and subjects’ Need for Cognition score. The importance of these findings for upcoming research and business practice is discussed. |
