Abstract

This research examines the dual effects of mixed emotions on consumer variety seeking. Three experiments provide evidence that when people engage in affect regulation to reduce the conflicted feeling from mixed emotions, they seek less variety; however, people seek more variety when their focus is on the informational value of mixed emotions instead.
