Framing the value and valuing the frame? Algorithms for child safety seat use

This study uses both the consumption value and framing theories to examine consumers' choices when making risky decisions. This examination uses a framework of “gives” and “gets” to test the consumer's perception of value and then uses a sequential fsQCA to take the mental accounting of a risky decision. The findings indicate that the value equation provides a beneficial conceptualization of safety that can guide managers and policymakers on ways to connect consumers' perceptions of value with mechanisms that create value-based framing.
