Consumer Similarity Judgments: A Test of the Contrast Model
نویسنده
چکیده
A general model is described that views similarity judgment as a contrasting of product features. The relative influence of common and distinctive features on perceived similarity is considered a function of the context or task environment. A memory probe is used to measure the common and distinctive features consumers associate with various products. The feature measures are then used to estimate the model under three different task environments: similarity, dissimilarity, and subject/referent similarity. The results support the model and the effect of the task environment on judgments of interproduct similarity.

متن کاملFeatures of Similarity
The metric and dimensional assumptions that underlie the geometric representation of similarity are questioned on both theoretical and empirical grounds. A new set-theoretical approach to similarity is developed in which objects are represented as collections of features, and similarity is described as a featurematching process. Specifically, a set of qualitative assumptions is shown to imply t...

متن کاملDiagnosticity: Some theoretical and empirical progress
We present progress towards a novel theoretical approach for understanding Tversky’s famous ‘diagnosticity’ effect in similarity judgments, and an initial empirical validation. Our approach uses a model for similarity judgments based on quantum probability theory. The model predicts a diagnosticity effect under certain conditions only. Our model also predicts that changes to the set of stimuli ...
