“确定性偏好”,还是“不确定性吸引”?——个人不确定性体验及其反思

"Certainty Preference"or"Uncertainty Attraction"?--Personal Experience of Uncertainty and Its Reflection

不确定性广泛存在于社会之中,并对个人的日常生活具有重要影响。研究发现,人们一方面表现出对“确定性”的强烈偏好,另一方面又会被“不确定性”深深吸引,由此呈现出“确定性偏好”与“不确定性吸引”并存的状态。本质而言,不确定性乃是一种中性的认知状态。生物因素的作用导致人们在不确定性偏好上存在内在的差异,而外在的环境因素也会影响到人们的不确定性感知。因而,个人不确定性感知和体验乃是其内在的不确定性偏好与外在的客观环境合力作用的结果。

Uncertainty is widespread in society and has a significant impact on personal daily life.It has been found that people show a strong preference for certainty on one hand,and on the other hand they are deeply attracted to uncertainty,thus showing the coexistence of"certainty preference"and"uncertainty attraction",In essence,uncertainty is a neutral cognitive state.Biological factors lead to intrinsic differences in uncertainty preferences,while external environmental factors also affect the perception of uncertainty.Thus,personal uncertainty perception and experience is the result of the combined effect of the internal uncertainty preference and the external objective environment.
