when circumstances are uncertain our brains press pause. An experiment that Berger cites: students were offered a cheap vacation and placed in three groups: pass, fail and unknown. The pass and fail groups both wanted the vacation. The uncertain group didn't want the vacation as much. Yet eventually they will either be in the pass or fail group, so their interests should be the same. The Uncertainty caused them to press pause.

I do not understand your description.
What was the experiment setup?

Maybe, do you have a link for a more detailed description?

@blackoverflow I might be able to find the paper, when I'm home. Remind me on Thursday.
