Abstract

This paper adds to the limited research combining regret and satisfaction by building upon a decomposition of expected utility into components of expected performance, satisfaction and regret. These components are measured within a two-stage choice framework where initial choices are followed by a hypothetical product experience and then a post experience choice. Post- experience measures such as regret and satisfaction are used as predictors of post experience choices. Although both appear relevant in explaining post experience choice, regret appears to be slightly superior in terms of predictive accuracy.
