In Defense of Consciousness: The Role of Conscious and Unconscious Inputs in Consumer Choice (2005, unknown): “Consistent with this argument, Loewenstein (2001) suggested that “behavioral decision researchers are moving on” and “are abandoning their own paradigm” (pp. 499–500), and he reviews research indicating that decision making tends to be automatic, habitual, and mindless.”
Risk and rationality in entrepreneurial processes (2007, background): “…may allow us to remain modernists in our espoused rationality, even as our rationalities in use differ from the modernist view.4 Previous research shows that people explain their behaviors as resulting from deliberative decision making, even when this is not the case (Loewenstein, 2001).”
A Cognition-based View of Decision Processes in Complex Social–Ecological Systems (2007, methodology): “Through conscious processing, we develop and test situationspecific hypotheses, which involves identification and characterization of the potential alternatives, followed by some sort of comparison among them (Loewenstein 2001, Becker 2004).”
Behavioral Economics: Past, Present, Future (2003, unknown): “Psychological research shows that the effect of context on decision making can be powerful (see, e.g., Goldstein & Weber, 1995; Loewenstein, 2001) and some recent experimental economics studies have explored context effects too (e.g., Cooper, Kagel, Lo & Gu, 1999; Hoffman et al, 1994).”
Emotion regulation consumption: When feeling better is the aim (2011, background): “as individuals engage in cognitive processes that involve learning, rationalizing, and subsequently reinterpreting objective circumstances (Loewenstein, 2001; Hoch, 2002), individuals may also reinterpret specific emotional elements”
Advancing from subjective to confirmatory personal introspection in consumer research (2004, background): “The work of Payne (1951), Grice (1975), Hilton (1995), Ericsson and Simon (1993), and Schwarz (1999) supports the view that “question comprehension involves extensive inferences about the speaker’s intentions to determine the pragmatic meaning of the question” (Schwarz, 1999, p.”
