Common attributes were defined as the identical attributes shared among brands and unique attributes as differential attributes from one another.

The results showed that common attributes had an effect on consumer judgment and choice, in contrast with the normative view of decision making that attributes shared by alternatives in the choice set are canceled in the process of choice.
