“…An extensive body of work compares experiential and material purchases and their impact on consumer well‐being, including satisfaction (Carter & Gilovich, 2010), regret (Rosenzweig & Gilovich, 2012), intrinsic (vs. extrinsic) motivation (Ho & Wyer, 2021), and happiness (Van Boven & Gilovich, 2003; Weingarten & Goodman, 2021). The general consensus from this research stream is that consumers tend to derive greater satisfaction and happiness from experiential consumption than from material possessions (Caprariello & Reis, 2013; Carter & Gilovich, 2010, 2012; Howell & Hill, 2009; Kumar et al, 2014; Nicolao et al, 2009; Razmus et al, 2022; Weingarten & Goodman, 2021). The greater positive impact that experiential purchases have on one's happiness has been termed the experiential advantage (Gilovich & Gallo, 2020; Weingarten & Goodman, 2021).…”
