Abstract: | A general model of satisfaction formation is proposed that extends the seminal disconfirmation of expectations model by explicitly
incorporating the processing of both chosen and nonchosen alternatives. Using presidential election data, the results show
that satisfaction with the nonchoice does remain salient in the determination of overall postchoice satisfaction. Disconfirmation
related to either the chosen or the nonchosen alternative influences satisfaction with both the chosen and the nonchosen alternative.
Overall, the model suggests that the nonchoice alternative may continue to be relevant in the satisfaction formation process.
