Abstract
A framework for integrating a process-descriptive method of information search with methods of estimating attribute and product preference is described. Consumer choice for a product variation is examined within this framework. The data show that consumers make rational decisions based on searched information, but do not necessarily make predicted product-choice decisions when all available product varieties and attribute information are taken into consideration.
