<p>In the context of consumer research time is generally categorized into two distinct impacts: time as a resource constraint and time as a psychological perception. Authoritative texts such as those by Schiffman and Wisenblit emphasize that consumers often view time as a scarce commodity leading to time-pressured buying behaviors.</p><p>When consumers perceive a lack of time they tend to simplify their decision-making processes relying on heuristics rather than exhaustive information searches. This phenomenon is often modeled in consumer research to show how the utility of a purchase decision decreases as the cost of time spent searching increases.</p><p>Furthermore the temporal construal theory suggests that the further away an event is in time the more abstractly a consumer thinks about it whereas immediate purchases are evaluated based on concrete functional attributes.</p><p>My view has discussed this they are likely building upon these established frameworks which posit that time pressure forces a shift from compensatory decision-making (weighing all pros and cons) to non-compensatory strategies (eliminating options based on a single critical attribute).</p>
