自3月11日地震以来，日本家庭一直面临着减少对核电依赖和避免电价上涨之间的权衡问题。我们采用两种经济心理学方法对这种内在冲突进行定量分析：首先，我们注意到，在做出选择后，权衡会导致认知失调，从而导致所选方案和被拒绝方案之间的可取性差距更大。其次，在存在认知失调的情况下，如果没有其他选择可以暂停判断，消费者剩余提高了 11.2%。第三，性别和家庭年收入等个人特征与认知失调和对“别无选择”的偏好显着相关。
Since the March 11 earthquake, Japanese households have been facing a trade-off problem between decreasing dependency on nuclear power generation and avoiding an increase in electricity rates. We analyze this inner conflict quantitatively, adopting two economic–psychological approaches: First, we note that the trade-off causes cognitive dissonance after making a choice that results in a wider desirability gap between the chosen and rejected alternatives. Second, the consumer surplus improves by 11.2% with a no-choice option for suspending judgment in the presence of cognitive dissonance. Third, individual characteristics such as gender and annual household income are significantly correlated with both cognitive dissonance and a preference for the no-choice option.
