Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to analyze information processing mechanisms as they operate in multi-member (household) decision making units. Based on 400 Information Display Board (IDB) experiments conducted separately with husbands and wives in eight different product categories, the research data bank allows a systematic analysis of similarities and differences in the amount and nature of information as well as information acquisition strategies used by couples.
