Revealed Versus Hidden Attributes as Determinants of Perceived Product Quality

Article Abstract:

The relationship between revealed quality and hidden quality when making consumer choices is examined. Three products, batteries, envelopes, and lighters, are examined. The possibility that extrinsic cues, such as price and country of manufacture, are tested to see how they influence the buying decision. These extrinsic cues have a large effect on consumer purchase of batteries, where quality is hidden. Where quality is revealed, as in the case of envelopes, extrinsic cues have less importance in purchasing decisions.
