Do Consumers Evaluate Products by Adding or Averaging Attribute Information?

Abstract

Two empirical studies are reported in which tests are conducted between adding and averaging combination rules for evaluative judgments. The results indicate that attribute information combines by averaging. Multi-attribute models which assume adding are contradicted by the findings, and thus, provide an inadequate description of consumers' psychological processes.
