根据一个经常被引用的民间智慧，如果一个人想完成某件事，最好的人是一个忙碌的人。我们在两项研究中测试了这个命题的一个版本。研究1让被试接受一个帮助请求，其中促进相关行为的线索比抑制相关行为的线索更显著;研究2的特征是一个请求，其中抑制相关行为的线索比促进相关行为的线索更显著。在这两项研究中，被高认知负荷“忙碌”的参与者比在最小负荷下的参与者表现出更多的主导行为压力的影响。结果表明，忙碌的人可以对帮助的呼吁做出更多的反应，但只有当促进帮助的线索比阻碍帮助的线索更突出时。
According to an oft‐quoted piece of folk wisdom, if one wants something accomplished, the best person to ask is a busy person. We tested a version of this proposition in two studies. Study 1 exposed participants to a helping request in which cues promoting the relevant behavior were made more salient than those inhibiting it. Study 2 featured a request in which inhibiting cues were made more salient than cues promoting the behavior. In both studies, participants who were “busied” by high cognitive load showed more influence of the dominant behavioral pressure than did participants under minimal load. The results suggest that busy people can respond more to a helping appeal, but only when cues facilitating helping are more salient than those discouraging it.
