贫困心态对大学生跨期选择的影响:心理资本的中介作用

The Effect of Poverty Mindset on Intertemporal Choice: The Mediating Effect of Psychological Capital

为探究贫困心态对跨期选择影响以及心理资本在二者间的中介作用,研究采用贫困心态问卷、积极心理资本量表、跨期选择问卷对大学生进行调查,获得有效数据216份。结果显示:1) 贫困心态与时间折扣率呈显著负相关,贫困心态强的个体更偏好小的即时选项;2) 心理资本在贫困心态与跨期选择间起部分中介作用。贫困心态不仅会直接影响跨期选择偏好,还会通过降低心理资本对跨期选择产生间接影响。研究结果为改善心理贫困,避免短视现象提供了参考。

To investigate the influence of poverty mindset on parental intertemporal choice and the mediating role of psychological capital between them, 216 college students were recruited to complete Poverty Mentality Questionnaire, Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire and Intertemporal Choice Task Questionnaire. The results showed that: 1) There was a significant negative correlation between poverty mindset and intertemporal choice, individuals with a strong poverty mindset prefer smaller immediate options;2) Psychological capital played a part of mediating role between poverty mindset and parental intertemporal choice. Poverty mindset will not only directly affect intertemporal choice, but also indirectly affect intertemporal choice by reducing psychological capital. The study provides a reference for improving mental poverty and avoiding nearsightedness.
