Abstract

The imperative for sufficient consumption relies on the development of consumer reflexivity, defined in this article as a conscious self-examination in the context of consumption. This research investigates the impact of pricing plans on the activation or inhibition of reflexivity. Through two studies related to mobile telephony, the article shows that price-per-use pricing fosters reflexivity and moderation in consumption, while flat-rate pricing inhibits them. However, the first study also confirms that consumers do not prefer price-per-use. The second study tests alternative pricing settings that are likely to activate reflexivity while having a higher probability of adoption.
