反事实思维的新学说:功能说

The functional theory of counterfactual thinking

反事实思维的功能说不同之前的范例说,主要从反事实思维对人的行为调节方面来对其进行阐述。反事实思维的功能说认为反事实思维是行为调节的一个有用的、有益的、必要的成分。其从两条途径来阐述其行为调节,一种是内容特定途径,另一种是内容中性途径。内容特定途径认为反事实思维的具体信息影响行为意图,从而影响某一特定行为,而内容中性途径认为反事实思维影响心态、动机、自我相关因素三大因素,对大多数的行为有调节作用。本文最后简略谈了国内外对此学说的探究。

the functional theory of counterfactual thinking was different from the previous norm theory, mainly focused on the behavior regulation respect. The functional＂ theory put functional theory as a useful, beneficial and necessary component. This theory elab- orate behavioral regulation in two pathways, one was content-specific pathway, another was the con- tent-neutral pathways. Content-specific pathway thought the specific information from functional theory affected specific behavior, whereas content-neutral pathway deem functional theory affected mind-set, motivation, self-inference, and thus this three component would then modulate behavior. At the end of this paper, the author briefly discussed the latest academic study on this theory.
