dc.description.abstract | The current research demonstrates the category specificity effect, whereby an individual's choice of options belonging to different categories depends on whether the options are categorized in a specific or abstract manner. In particular, when categories do not contain labels that specifically convey category knowledge, individuals tend to view the assortment as having more varied alternatives, leading to greater variety-seeking. Three laboratory studies employing the context of food menu selections were conducted to test our hypotheses. Study 1 and Study 2 reveal that, given the identical assortment of dishes, individuals are likely to order a greater variety of dishes when the menu contains no category labels or abstract category labels, as opposed to when it contains specific category labels. Furthermore, the use of abstract category labels increases the number of dishes individuals order. We further show that this category specificity effect on choice is mediated by the enhanced perception of variety offered in the menu. Study 3 demonstrates that the effect of category specificity is moderated by an individual's familiarity with the food category. | - |
