Protected values

Article Abstract:

Protected values, which are defined as standards which exhibit non-compliance to compromise with other values of economic nature, are hypothesized to also show quantity insensitivity, agent relativity, and moral obligation. Individuals are also said to encounter anger and denial of the need for trade-offs in the consideration making compromises. A correlation of these five factors with trade-off resistance was revealed in subjects despite the individuals' inability to distinguish which values they were being subjected to. Results may have significant value to policy makers in the consideration of maximizing utility.

Elicitation modes such as choice, buying, price rating and matching also influenced group decisions.
