Abstract Simonson and Tversky

(Journal of Marketing Research, 1992) demonstrated that the

tendency to choose an alternative is enhanced or hindered depending on whether the tradeos within the set under consideration are favorable or unfavorable to that option (tradeo contrast eect). The existing literature experimentally tested this eect mostly in choices between multi-attribute products. In this note we present experimental evidence that suggests that the tradeo contrast eect also exists for choices between lotteries.

1 Introduction Choice behavior is often inuenced by the set of alternatives under consideration (menu eects). Specically, Itamar Simonson and Amos Tversky (1992) presented and experimentally tested the inuence of

tradeo contrast

eect.

According to this eect, the tendency to choose an alternative is enhanced or hindered depending on whether the tradeos within the set under consideration are favorable or unfavorable to that option. Consider, for example, the choice between the three objects displayed in Figure 1 (where each axis represents a positive attribute). Because the contrast between the the

x -z

and

y -z

tradeos is unfavorable to

z, z

x -y

tradeo and

is expected to fare worse (to

be chosen less often) in the triple than in the pairs. On the other hand, if was above the

x- y

z

line, then it would be expected to fare better in the triple.

Simonson and Tversky (1992, 1993) present an experimental support for this eect for choices between dierent multi-attribute products. Recently (Heller, 2010), we presented an axiomatic formulation for this eect for choices between lotteries (the framework of John von-Neumann and Oscar Morgenstern, 1944). In this note we present experimental evidence that suggests that the tradeo contrast eect also exists in choices between lotteries.

Figure 1. Contrast Tradeo Detraction

This note is is organized as follows. In the next section we describe the experimental design. Section 3 presents the main results. Further results and the raw data are found in the Appendix.

2 Experimental Design Participants in the experiment included 153 undergraduate students in TelAviv University (from economics, computer science and physics). The students were asked to participate in a short experiment (that lasted about 10 minutes) in the beginning of the class. The experiment did not include monetary payments (i.e., an hypothetical treatment). Each subject was being asked to answer 6 questions (see appendix B). In each question, the subject had to choose a single alternative out of 2-3 alternatives. These 6 questions dealt with 4 dierent choice problems. Each of these problem was presented in one of two possible framings, and with one of two somewhat dierent sets of values. Two of these problems dealt with choices over lotteries as described in Table 1 (the other two problems, which dealt with choices over 1 dierent remuneration plans, are described in Appendix A). For each choice problem, one half of the subjects received a single 3-alternative question (with either of the two framings/values), while the other half received two 2-alternative questions: the rst question included alternatives and the second question included alternatives

relation between the two related questions (the

x−z

choice and the

y−z

choice), these two questions had dierent framings (in Problem 1), dierent sets of values, and were located at dierent pages of the questionnaire (see Appendix B). An analysis of the results shows that the framing and the set of values had no direct substantial inuence on the choices of the subjects. In both problems, alternative prize with respect to
