后悔的“状态改变-状态继续”效应：一个概念框架

首先回顾了假设思维及后悔研究中的实验研究和现场研究的结果及相互之间的矛盾，总结先前研究对“做/不做”这对概念的界定。再探讨“做/不做”这对概念的不足后，作者用“状态改变/状态继续”来替代“做/不做”。在“状态改变－状态继续”框架基础上将事件分为“整体事件”和“分段事件”。研究证实“做/不做”只适合于“整体事件”而不适合“分段事件”。“状态改变-状态继续”效应的提出改变了先前研究思路，并扩大了标准理论的解释能力，将“做-不做”效应和“特例－常规”效应整合成“状态改变－状态继续”效应。同时，该框架部分地解释了长期存在于实验研究与现场研究中的假设思维所表现出的差异

CHANGE OF STATE EFFECT IN REGRET: A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

This article reriewed conflictions between experimental studies and field resear ch on conterfactual thinking, and replaced action/inaction with change of state/ status quo due to its shortcomings of action and inaction. Unitary events were d istinguished from divided events under the framework of change of state-status quo. It was approved that action/inaction is only applied to unitary events but not to divided events. This conceptual framework of change of state effect adds to the power of norm theory (Kahneman and Miller, 1986) and incorporate their re ception effect and action effect into one change of state effect. On the other h and, this framework also partly explains the long-lasting differences between scenario experiment and field research on regret and counterfactual thinking .
