Repeatedly experiencing information overload in a product customization: a case of sequential overchoice

Dorn, Michael Hans; Brügger, Adrian; Messner, Claude (2014). Repeatedly experiencing information overload in a product customization: a case of sequential overchoice. In: Society for Consumer Psychology 2014 Annual Winter Conference. Miami, USA. 6.-8. Mrz. 2014.

The present study demonstrates how consumers can suffer from sequential overchoice. Customizing a tailor-made suit from combined-attribute choices (e.g., deciding on color and fabric in combination) leads to less satisfaction and less additional consumption than customizing it from single-attribute choices (e.g., deciding on color, then on fabric). The effect is mediated by information overload and moderated by consideration set size.
