Abstract
In a recent paper, Yates and Jagacinski (1979) presented evidence for what was referred to as a "reference effect" in the process by which people evaluate multiattribute alternatives.Barton and John (1980) argue that it is inappropriate to characterize the observed phenomenon as a reference effect.We wish to take this opportunity to clarify what the issues are and what the data and analyses of Yates and Jagacinski and Barron and John really have to say about those issues.

Conditions for additive, multiplicative, and more complex forms of the measurable multiattribute value function are presented, providing a link between the additive value function and multiattribute utility theory.

Substantial conditions for a multiattribute utility function to be either multiplicative or additive are presented, and procedures for verifying the assumptions and assessing the resulting utility functions are given.

Multiattribute utility theory is appropriate for developing preference models to address value trade-offs among multiple objectives and uncertainty in complex problems to illustrate by an example how one puts the theory into practice.
