Consumer behavior is connected to freewill because conscious decisions is helpful for making rational decisions rather than impulsive ones (Baumeister, R. F., Sparks, E. A., Stillman, T. F., & Vohs, K. D., 2008). Ego depletion can stem from a person temporary adaptation in demanding situation (Botvinick et al, 2001). In consumer behaviorism this could be where advertisement and salesman making a sale pitch comes from. These can be seen as demanding situations, where they are trying there best to get you to buy what they are selling.Consumers are also faced with choices of different price ranges and product quality.

Advertisement can make consumers feel overwhelmed and lack of freedom to choose a product (Hofmann, W., Strack, F., & Deutsch, R., 2008). With advertisement subjectively or objectively; telling consumers how they need a product or how they deserve a product to must have a product. This cause people to become mentally fatigue and make less intelligent decisions when buying a product or choosing a product to buy(Schmeichel, Vohs,& Baumeister(2003). Mental fatigue can also stem from deals with fine print, along with which store has the best deals or trying to get to the store . People will be lead to buy the best expensive or cheapest product(Simonson, 1989).

Consumers who have low self control are willing to purchase high effort products(Cutright & Samper, 2014). Consumer who have low self control are more likely to work hard or pay more for a product. This is due to the effect of working hard can lead to a sense of empowerment; they will feel in control again. It can also lead them to purchasing a brand that has a high status. A brand of high status is seen a beneficial and more and secure.

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to say here, ScottB. It seems there may be a word or two missing. How does feeling overwhelmed relate to freedom of choice? Work to make all the connections between the ideas clearer. Can you please edit to clarify?Jbdolphin (talk) 06:18, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
