The categorization effect in hedonic contrast: Experts differ from novices

Abstract: Test stimuli are rated as less "good" when they follow very good context stimuli than when they are presented alone. This diminution in rating is called hedonic contrast. Contrast is attenuated if the context and the test stimuli are perceived as being in different categories. Because experts use as their basic-level categories what are the subordinate levels for novices, they will categorize when novices do not. Therefore, in the following studies, both experts and novices showed hedonic contrast when attract… Show more

“…This is consistent with previous research that shows vanguard members to develop subtler, more fine-grained distinctions and more elaborate systems of categorization (Mervis and Rosch, 1981;Rota and Zellner, 2007). Vanguard members are also more likely to refer to categories when engaging with products (Mitchell and Dacin, 1996;Cowley and Mitchell, 2003).…”

“…This issue is not easily resolved a priori. For example, Rota and Zellner (2007) demonstrated that although novice participants showed contrast effects across different flower types, those with expertise in flowers placed the target and contextual stimuli (irises and orchids) into different categories and thereby showed no significant contrast.…”

“…When positive context stimuli are presented before a set of more hedonically neutral test stimuli, both negative hedoni c contrast (Parker, Bascom, Rabinovitz, & Zellner, 2008;Rota & Zellner, 2007;Zellner, Rohm, Bassetti, & Parker, 2003) and a decrease in preference between test stimuli (i.e., hedonic condensation) occur (Zellner, Allen, Henley, & Parker, 2006;Zellner, Mattingly, & Parker, 2009). So negative hedonic contrast and hedonic condensation cooccur when good stimuli precede less good stimuli.…”
