讲座主要内容

Despite the growing academic attention paid to secrecy in the psychology field, a more systematic investigation is needed of the antecedents and consequences of secrecy as well as the psychological mechanism underlying its impact on consumers. This talk covers two ongoing research projects investigating how the experience of secrecy affects consumers’ consumption behavior. As the first to investigate the relationship between secrecy, consumer conformity, and choice regret, and the distinct mechanisms driving these effects, these two research projects provide important contribution to the literature on secrecy, consumer conformity, and choice satisfaction.
