Bi#erly et al. 2014 - Dueling with desire: a synthesis of past research
on want/should conflict
Aim and goal
The ar/cle reviews and synthesizes past research on the conflict between immediate desires
(wants) and long-term interests (shoulds), known as "want/should conflict." It aims to
provide a comprehensive understanding of this conflict and offer insights into interven/ons
that can help individuals and policymakers promote long-term, should-based decisions.
Conceptual model/framework
Want/Should Conflict = The tension between the immediate gra/fica/on provided by wants
and the long-term benefits offered by shoulds.
System 1 thinking = the intui/ve, automa/c thought process that favors immediate
gra/fica/on.
System 2 thinking = is the slower, more logical process that considers long-term
consequences.
Construal Level Theory (CLT) = This theory posits that people think about distant events
abstractly (favoring shoulds) and near-term events concretely (favoring wants).
Framework:
The conflict between wants and shoulds is framed through dual-process models of cogni/on
(System 1 vs. System 2) and Construal Level Theory. The ar/cle explores how cogni/ve load,
/me distance, and other factors influence whether individuals choose wants or shoulds.
Results of the study
Main Findings:
- The ar/cle highlights the cogni/ve processes and situa/onal factors that influence
the balance between wants and shoulds, such as /me proximity, cogni/ve load,
emo/onal states, and how choices are presented.
- It also discusses various interven/ons, like commitment devices and planning
prompts, that can help individuals make more should-based decisions.
Managerial implica/ons
The ar/cle suggests that managers and policymakers can use insights from want/should
conflict research to design interven/ons that nudge individuals towards long-term beneficial
behaviors, such as saving money, exercising, or avoiding unhealthy foods.
Limita/ons of the study
As a review ar/cle, its limita/ons may include reliance on the quality and scope of exis/ng
research, poten/al biases in interpre/ng past studies, and the challenge of applying
theore/cal models universally across different contexts and popula/ons.

Elsen, Pieters, and Wedel (2016) - Here are answers to the quesIons
based on the image you shared:
Aim and Goal of the Ar/cle
The ar/cle aims to inves/gate how thin slices of informa/on from adver/sements affect ad
and brand evalua/ons depending on the exposure dura/on. It specifically examines three
types of ad iden/fica/on: upfront, mystery, and false front ads, and tests how each ad type is
evaluated aSer brief and longer exposure dura/ons.
Conceptual Model/Framework
The study is framed around the concept of "thin slices" of informa/on, referring to short
exposure dura/ons where consumers do not get detailed informa/on, but form impressions
based on basic ad iden/ty. The key framework revolves around three ad types:
- Upfront ads, which immediately reveal the product.
- Mystery ads, which withhold key informa/on ini/ally.
- False front ads, which mislead the viewer ini/ally by sugges/ng a different iden/ty
Results of the Study
- Main Findings: The study found that upfront ads received posi/ve evalua/ons even
aSer brief exposure dura/ons (100 msec). Mystery ads, ini/ally rated nega/vely aSer
brief exposure, were evaluated more posi/vely aSer longer exposure. False front ads
were posi/vely evaluated aSer brief exposure but nega/vely aSer longer exposure.
- Key Results: The feeling of knowing the product being adver/sed was a significant
mediator in these evalua/ons, especially for upfront and mystery ads. However, false
front ads suffered from miscalibra/on, where ini/al impressions were corrected
nega/vely over /me.
Managerial Implica/ons
The findings suggest important considera/ons for ad placement in media with different
exposure dura/ons. For instance, upfront ads are suitable for short exposure media, while
mystery ads may require longer exposure to reveal their full poten/al. The results also
indicate poten/al risks in using false front ads, especially in situa/ons where exposure is
extended.
Limita/ons of the Study
The authors acknowledge limita/ons such as the need for further refinement of ad
iden/fica/on types and suggest inves/ga/ng other forms of adver/sing, like advertorials.
Addi/onally, the study focused on direct aWtudinal effects, and future research could
explore indirect effects, such as brand awareness and social media engagement.
