Abstract

Consumer researchers argue for the importance of emotional experiences, versus objectrelated attributes, in shaping peoples’ evaluations of products, brands, and shopping
environments. The current study draws on this argument and explores the role of pleasant experiences in the context of commercial web sites' evaluation. Our experiment confirms that consumers’ evaluations of web sites depend on the pleasantness of interaction as a process.Web site design attributes are significant determinants of pleasantness only when consumers are in a deliberative mind-set. We discuss the implications of these findings for researchers and web designers
