Order of choices can influence decisions, leading to strategic behavior.
This study looked at how the order in which choices are presented can affect people's decisions in surveys. They found that the order of choices can influence how people make decisions, leading to different strategies being used. Participants may not always choose the option that costs the least, but instead use other methods like looking for good deals or avoiding bad ones. As people answer more questions, they get better at making choices and may start to notice patterns in the order of the choices, using this to their advantage.
