Relative rank effects in consumer behaviour and social judgement: From cognitive models to social inequality Other events...
Models of judgement and decision-making suggest that the relative ranked positions of options within a context influences judgement and choice. I will summarise evidence for the relative rank principle in a number of different social and applied contexts, ranging from actual product choice through to social and health-related attitudes. I show that wage and life satisfaction are related to relative rank of income; that similar principles predict self-perception of body-image, student satisfaction, and alcohol consumption,and that the effects of societal income inequality can be understood in terms of the same principles that underpin judgement and choice.
