Pleasure, Guilt and Regret in Hedonic Consumption: Revisiting the Vice-Virtue Categorization in Theories of Self-Control
Vosgerau, J., Scopelliti, I. & Huh, Y.E. (2016). Pleasure, Guilt and Regret in Hedonic Consumption: Revisiting the Vice-Virtue Categorization in Theories of Self-Control. NA - Advances in Consumer Research, 44, pp. 164-168.
Abstract
The popular characterization of self-control conflicts as a choice between hedonic vices and utilitarian virtues leads to the unrealistic prediction that hedonic consumption is always accompanied by feelings of guilt and regret. The paradox is resolved by recognizing that excess consumption - rather than hedonics - is the defining characteristic of vices.
