N2 - A model introducing image compatibility as a moderator of information use is proposed and tested with data from a laboratory study involving 96 masters-level business students. Findings indicate that the use of problem space information to guide resource allocation decisions varies with perceptions of image compatibility . When image compatibility is high, information use declines; when compatibility is low, information use increases. These results suggest that Image Theory (Beach, 1990; Beach & Mitchell, 1990), and image compatibility in particular, may be useful as a means for understanding and predicting variation in the use of information in decision-making episodes.
