心理不安全状态下决策者的风险偏好

心理不安全感是指人们对可能遭受的伤害与威胁的担忧与焦虑。当下, 许多个体都是在心理不安全的状态下进行决策。对于心理不安全状态下的风险偏好规律, 现有研究得到了矛盾的结果。此外, 心理安全感对风险偏好的作用机制尚不明确。本研究聚焦心理安全感对风险偏好的影响, 考察心理安全感的补偿机制在其中的中介作用, 并探讨选项分布情况在其中的调节作用, 以此揭示心理安全感为何及如何作用于风险偏好。研究结果将有助于明确决策者在心理不安全状态下的风险偏好规律, 从而完善现有的风险决策理论。同时, 为公共管理政策制定提供科学依据。

The effect of psychological insecurity on risk preference

Psychological insecurity refers to the anxiety about potential harm and threat. Many individuals make decisions when they are psychologically insecure. Existing literature has revealed inconsistent results regarding the effects of psychological insecurity on risk preference, and the mechanism of such effects remains unclear. The current study proposed compensation mechanism as a mediator and option distribution as a moderator in order to investigate why and how psychological insecurity would influence risk preference. The findings would help to clarify the patterns of decision-makers’ risk preference under psychological insecurity, improve the theories of decisions under risk, and offer scientific evidence for practical implications in public administration.
