Psychological Commitment and Its Effects on Post-Decision Evaluation and Preference Stability among Voters

High psychological commitment to a vote decision produces halo effects in the subsequent evaluation of election outcomes and is associated with greater preference stability. Among low commitment voters, preferences are more unstable and subject to less cognitive mediation. Social motivation moderates the influence of social versus personal outcomes in post-decision evaluation for high but not for low commitment voters.
