Purchasing Decision: Value Misalignment and Tolerance of Value

Even among the best of us (ID folks) who support social values, cost and convenience are still the reality. This project seeks to understand people’s values (ID students, faculty, and staff) when they buy at John + Pat Anderson’s café on the first floor of the Kaplan building and how these values influence their purchasing decisions and their level of tolerance in case of value misalignment.
