如果决策者从{A，B，C}中选择B，而不是从{A，B}中选择B，那么她就是“不规则的”(例如，在香草和巧克力之间选择香草冰淇淋，但在香草、巧克力和草莓中选择巧克力)。与之前的研究类似，我们观察到大学生面对超市假想的折扣卡时的非常规选择。然而，老年人没有表现出这种倾向。在三项不同的研究中也观察到了同样的模式。我们根据老年人的选择策略来解读这一结果，以保护他们免受过度消费的影响。(C)2001 Elsevier Science B.V.保留所有ri-hts。
A decision-maker is "irregular" if she would choose B from {A, B, C} but not from {A, B} (for example, preferring vanilla ice cream in a choice between vanilla and chocolate, but chocolate in a choice among vanilla, chocolate and strawberry). Similarly to previous studies we observed irregular choices by college students faced with hypothetical discount cards for supermarkets. However, older adults showed no such tendency. The same pattern was observed in three separate studies. We interpret the results in terms of a choice strategy by older adults that protects them from excessive spending.
