Abstract

The role played by Online Customer Reviews (OCRs) in consumers’ decision making decisions is increasingly prominent. Compelled by the paucity of understanding regarding how OCRs assist consumers’ decision making process, this study investigates how OCRs and the emerging OCR curation features facilitate consumers’ judgement styles in the light of the model of dual-system cognition function. This study postulates that the information cues available in numerical rating and opinionated review are conducive to intuitive and deliberate judgements respectively. Furthermore, OCR curation features can help to enhance judgements in response to OCRs through manipulating cue accessibility. Lastly, different judgement modes are expected to entail distinct decisional outcomes in terms of performance and justifiability. To empirically validate the proposed hypotheses, this study proposes a plan for conducting a subsequent experiment on a customdeveloped online restaurant review site.
