等待时间知觉在不同启动条件下对决策影响的中介作用

Cherish the Money or the Time? The Intermediary Role of Waiting Time Perception on Decision Making under Different Priming Conditions

等待时间知觉,即人们在等待过程中对等待时间长短的主观知觉,并作为一种心理体验影响人们的行为。本研究结合心理定势理论、时间知觉的标量计时理论,采用时距估计范式探讨了不同启动条件对决策的影响以及等待时间知觉在其中的中介作用。也即,在等待的过程中,人们的等待时间知觉在时间启动和金钱启动条件下存在何种差异、产生这种差异的内部机制是否可以通过标量计时理论中开关的闭合程度(也即对时间相关信息的关注程度)进行解释,以及时间与金钱的相互转换是否遵循心理定势理论。研究结果显示,不同启动条件(时间/金钱)对决策行为没有显著影响;不同被试类型对决策行为影响差异显著,既有钱又有闲的被试更倾向于进行时间优先的决策;启动条件与被试类型交互作用显著。等待时间知觉在不同启动条件下对决策影响的中介作用显著,在不同被试类型条件下中介作用不显著。本研究将时间知觉与决策理论相结合,拓宽了相关研究领域,同时也为从时间知觉角度减少非理性决策行为提供了有益的指导。

Waiting time perception refers to the subjective and psychological experience of waiting for the process of waiting for people,and will have an impact on people's behavior. In this study,the influence of different starting conditions on decision making and the mediating effect of waiting time perception are discussed by using the time-delay estimation model based on the theory of psychological set-up and time perception. That is,in the waiting process,what is the difference between people's waiting time perception in time start and money start conditions,and whether the internal mechanism that produces this difference can pass the degree of closure of the switch in the scalar timing theory( that is,The degree of concern about the relevant information) to explain,and whether the conversion of time and money to follow the psychological set theory. The results showed that different start conditions( time/money) had no significant effect on decision-making behavior. The influence of different subjects on decision-making behavior was significant,and there was a tendency for free subjects to be more time-oriented. And the type of interaction with the subjects is significant. The effect of waiting time perception on decision-making under different initiation conditions is significant,and the mediating effect is not significant under different subject types. This study expands the field of time perception,which explains that people pay more attention to money resources than time resources and then reduce the irrational decision-making behavior from the perspective of time perception.
