摘要
以往不作为惯性领域的研究发现,当个体没有获得先前更优机会是源于他人或外界等不可控因素时,个体仍会倾向于继续放弃当前次优机会,且后悔情绪未能对此进行解释。本研究认为失望情绪适用于解释此种情况下的不作为惯性,或可成为后悔情绪解释的有效补充。本研究通过两个实验首次探讨了失望情绪在不作为惯性产生中的作用。结果发现,各自变量对失望情绪(体验失望和预期失望)和作为可能性均具有一致的影响力,且预期失望在不作为惯性的产生中具有中介作用。本研究表明,失望情绪可能也是导致不作为惯性的一个重要因素。
The present study sought to explore the role of disappointment in the"inaction inertia"effect:the phenomenon that"one is not likely to act on an attractive opportunity after having failed to take advantage of an even more attractive opportunity".Avoidance of regret explanation for the inaction inertia effect was explored in former studies,but it failed to account for situations when the individual’s failure to obtain the previous better opportunity was due to uncontrollable factors such as others or the outside world.The current study introduced disappointment into the inaction inertia effect for the first time,and suggested that disappointment might account for inaction inertia when the freedom of choice and personal responsibility were reduced,which may be an important supplement to regret explanation.In the two experiments,the factor(responsibility of missing a nearer fitness club in Experiment1)that did not influence disappointment had no significant effect on action likelihood,and the factors(difference in attractiveness in both experiments and winning probability in Experiment 2)that influenced disappointment also affected action likelihood.Experiment 2 further demonstrated that anticipated disappointment played a significant mediational role in inaction inertia.The current study proposes that,in some cases,disappointment may be an account for inaction inertia.
