I can buy into "post-purchase rationalization" but had not heard that term before. The article by that name here (that is linked into "List of cognitive biases" is my first exposure to the term. Until now the phenomena that I am more familiar with the phenomena, called "buyers remorse," where the purchaser conceives that he or she has paid too much or is otherwise disenchanted with the deal just made. I am wondering why some individuals may tend to "Post-purchase rationalization" and others tend to "Buyers remorse." JohnDeBruyn 15:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC
This is an article written by people from the /v/ message board on 4chan. The description of a console having no games is a common jab at the Playstation 3. It is just written semi-scholarly to avoid setting off red flags. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.101.92.166 (talk) 02:16, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
This phenomenon (post-purchase rationalization) was discussed in a behavior psychology class I took in college. However, it seems to just be an instance of Choice-supportive_bias, which has a much more thorough page. Whatever meaningful content is here could just be added as a section on that page.

neutrality
How does one report an article for lacking neutrality? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.50.161 (talk) 05:43, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
