The Disposition Effect
A cognitive phenomenon where disposition systematically influences perception or decision-making.
Disposition Effect is a cognitive phenomenon identified in behavioral science that shapes how users perceive, remember, and decide. In product design, Disposition Effect explains why users behave in ways that seem irrational from a purely functional perspective. Products that understand Disposition Effect can design experiences that work with human psychology rather than against it. Products that ignore Disposition Effect create friction, confusion, and abandonment. Disposition Effect is one of many cognitive effects that form the behavioral substrate of JTBDUX thinking.
