- catalog abstract "This paper provides an examination of the influence of environmental standards on judgments and choices. More specifically, we offer a cognitive account of the means versus ends focus of environmental regulation. Results from our first study provide support for the prediction that standards (the means) exert an influence on judgments of proposed environmental solutions that is independent of the extent to which those solutions protect the environment (the ends). Furthermore, this study demonstrates that standards can cognitively distort assessments of these solutions, artificially enhancing the relative attractiveness of standard-conforming solutions versus non-conforming solutions. Our second study suggests that one effect of this enhanced attractiveness is the tendency for "means" solutions (standard-conforming solutions) to actually be preferred over "ends" solutions (non-conforming solutions that do a better job of protecting the environment) when only one environmental proposal is examined but also demonstrates that this pattern of preferences can be reversed through the simultaneous evaluation of two environmental proposals. Practical and theoretical implications of these results are discussed.".
