SCP Boutique Conference
Numerical Markers in Judgments,
Choices & Consumption Experiences
Anastasiya Ghosh, Elise Ince, and Rajesh Bagchi, together with the Marketing Department of the Eller College of Management, invite you to Tucson, AZ.
September 23-24, 2021
University of Arizona, Tucson
Conference Theme
Consumers use numerical information to answer questions such as “How long?”, “How many?” or “How much?’ to evaluate offers, inform their choices between options and judge their consumption experiences. Virtually all marketplace consumer interactions involve interpretation of numerical information.
The goal of this conference is to answer the questions above through a dialog among researchers working in the diverse areas of consumer psychology that have developed independently—numerical processing, behavioral pricing, ratings/rankings, online reviews metrics, information framing, psychometrics, commissions/payouts, goal pursuit, prediction making, risk assessment, and financial decision making. By bringing together researchers in these diverse, yet interrelated areas, we hope to develop overarching insights about how numerical markers affect consumers’ judgments, choices, and consumption experiences.
Conference Format
The conference will start with a poster session and a welcome reception on Thursday, September 23rd, and will end late Friday afternoon. We will have one track of 20-minute presentations and a round table discussion. The conference will take place at the Eller College of Management, University of Arizona. If the situation changes due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, the conference will be held virtually.
Abstract Submission
The submissions portal to the conference is closed. Notifications to the authors of accepted talks and posters will be sent out on July 1st, 2021.
Ph.D. Students Participation
We will be offering five (5) competitive Ph.D. stipends to students submitting abstracts to the conference. Selected students will participate in the poster session and will receive a stipend covering their hotel stay and registration fee. The stipends are made possible by the generous support of AMA CBSIG.
