The nature of differences between similarity and preference judgments: a replication with extension

Article Abstract:

A replication of an experiment that evaluates similarity and preference judgments of consumers showed that preference judgments of consumers on certain products are governed by the beneficial and imagery attributes of the products, while similarity judgments are governed by characteristic attributes of the product. The research method needs to be refined on the basis of defining the relationship of attributes to enable researchers to specify product qualities that determine consumer choice.

The results, which indicated market structure differences between the two countries, confirmed the occurrence of macro-level asymmetries as well as dyadic and triadic exchanges.
