| Abstract: | Research in decision making suggests that the degree to which features of an option are shared vs. unique influences preferences in a way that violates normative rules. This study investigated generalizability of these findings to job choice. Results suggested that jobs with unique positive features and shared negative features were preferred over those with unique negative features and shared positive features only when information was presented in a simple format and when participants did not rate the importance of attributes prior to the choice task. |
