If you could afford it



would you ever splurge(


挥霍


)


10,000 on a pair of headphones



What


about some other luxuries



Would you?


But is the sound quality of a


10,000 pair of headphones really 10 times as good as the pair

Expensive

better



What


really


makes


people

Research into how cost affects our perceptions(


看法


) shows that price matters so much to our


understanding of value that we sometimes rate pricey things as superior or more effective



even if


they are of the exact same quality as the less expensive option.


In


one


study

California


Institute

but

participants

enjoyed


the


experience


of


drinking it more.


In another study using placebo(


安慰剂


) painkillers



participants who took a fake painkilling


drug that they were told cost


2.50 per pill reported it was more effective to cause pain reduction


during a series of shocks than participants who were told a pill cost only 10 cents.


But how do price and perceptions play in our purchasing decisions outside the laboratory



If


an item is twice as expensive



do buyers assume it



s twice as good?


Michael Norton



a psychologist and professor of business administration at Harvard Business


School says fact



we may consider the experience to be more than twice as



re


motivated to splurge because we



re searching for peak experiences



his research suggests.



The restaurant



or dessert or film that



s rated three stars by everyone is the safe choice


while the one that



s rated one or five stars could be terrible or could be amazing


,”


he says.



So


in this case



we find that people will gamble and pick the one- and five-star rated one



because


they



re trying to get that totally amazing experience



even if they risk ending up with a really bad


one.




Norton


says


the


same


logic


can


be


used


to


think


about


why


people


buy


very


expensive


products


or


experiences.

result.


The


results

who


found


that


negative


feelings
