Abstract:

This paper explores the impact of adding a compromise alternative into the choice set taking
into account the previous findings in the literature. The paper takes a meta-analytical approach when
examining the results of previously published peer-reviewed studies which included specific product
categories in their study design. The literature selection process generated 69 choice set comparisons
across 8 scientific studies including over 14 000 individual observations which allow examining the
compromise effect in a broader view.

Keywords:

Compromise, Consumer, Context Effect, Decision-making.
