Since, there is a time lag between ordering and purchasing products (goods and services) online and receiving them, it means the consumer makes decision under uncertainty.

متن کاملDifferent ovarian responses to potential mates underlie species-specific breeding strategies in common marmoset and Goeldi's monkey.
Callitrichids are cooperative breeders, characterized by obligate twinning, extensive paternal care, and monopolization of reproduction by the dominant female. This is the case in the common marmoset, and in common marmoset groups of more than one adult female, subordinate females are typically acyclic consistent with infertility. However, one callitrichid, Goeldi's monkey, gives birth to singl...
متن کاملPrimate copulation calls and postcopulatory female choice
Females in some species of Old World monkeys and apes vocalize after copulation, but the function of these vocalizations is not clear. In this article, we examine the hypothesis that copulation calls are a form of postcopulatory female choice. According to this hypothesis, copulation calls are honest signals of fertility (i.e., ovulation) that are used by females to encourage mate guarding by t...

A review of the relevant literature for humans revealed little comparable data. Hormonal correlations with human sexual behaviour have been difficult to demonstrate, and the most prominent peak of conscious sexual desire appears to occur in the mid-follicular rathe...
متن کاملPlaying the Field: The Effect of Fertility on Women’s Desire for Variety

However, might ovulation also increase women’s desire for new products? Four studies find that women select a greater number of unique options from consumer product sets at high fertility. This effect is especially strong fo...
