They answered an e-questionnaire consisting of ten questions divided into two categories: Likert scale and frequency-scaled questions. Many respondents acknowledged their awareness of the systematic cognitive strategies that sellers and marketers use to boost sales. The findings indicate that irrational purchasing decisions often result from cognitive distortions and perceptual biases, particularly when questions are framed in a self-satisfying manner. Responses to the Likert scale questions (items 1–5) showed overall agreement, with a mean score of 30.84. Meanwhile, the frequency-scaled questions (items 6–10) were predominantly answered as "sometimes," yielding an overall mean of 25.32. The results indicate that cognitive biases play a crucial role in shaping consumer purchasing patterns. Utilizing these biases significantly impacts marketing strategies and can serve as a powerful tool to guide consumers toward marketers. However, consumers must also remain aware and mindful of the cognitive biases influencing their buying decisions in the marketplace.
