Considerations: Overchoice
editLack of Citation: “When confronted with a plethora of choices without perfect information, many people prefer to make no choice at all, even if making a choice would lead to a better outcome.” No citation for peoples’ tendency to not make choices in overchoice situations. Iyengar and Lepper's second study illuminates this effect; fewer students attempted their essay assignment when given an extensive list of topics compared to a more limited sample. Iyengar, S. S., & Lepper, M. R. (2000). When choice is demotivating: Can one desire too much of a good thing?. Journal of personality and social psychology,79(6), 995.
Missing Information: Prior preference for items in choice assortment will negate the effect of Overchoice. People with clear prior preferences prefer larger assortments, satisfaction and choice. (Scheibehenne, B., Greifeneder, R., & Todd, P. M. (2010). Can There Ever Be Too Many Options? A Meta‐Analytic Review of Choice Overload. Journal of Consumer Research, 37(3), 409-425.)
Missing Information: Motivation and output quality (if decision involves performance) both increase with fewer or limited choices, shown with limited vs extensive essay topic assignment. Likewise both motivation and quality were shown to decline with extensive choices. Iyengar, S. S., & Lepper, M. R. (2000). When choice is demotivating: Can one desire too much of a good thing?. Journal of personality and social psychology,79(6), 995.
