Shawn went to a restaurant where the beer was mediocre and the place was run-down. The restaurant was out of many of its more popular menu items. Yet Shawn remembered the restaurant fondly because he had dinner with the girl he would end up dating steadily. They really hit it off that night. A few months later he decides to return to the restaurant, only to find that he was disappointed in the food and service. He thinks it's strange because he had such a good experience last time. What situational factor likely influenced Shawn's first experience?
a. reason for purchase.
b. buyer mood or condition.
c. social surroundings.
d. time considerations.
e. physical surroundings.

According to my research on studies conducted by various psychologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question it seems that Shawn's first experience was influenced by his Social surroundings. This is because the restaurant is the same as the first time he visited the only difference is that he went the first time with the girl he would end up dating steadily which is the entire reason he remembered it so fondly. Therefore his social surrounding was the factor that affected his experience.
