我们提出了一种关于人类思维的理论，即无意识思维理论。该理论适用于决策、印象形成、态度形成和改变、问题解决和创造力。它区分了两种思维模式：无意识的和有意识的。无意识思维和有意识思维具有不同的特征，这些不同的特征使得每种思维模式在不同的情况下都是可取的。例如，与普遍的看法相反，关于简单问题的决定可以通过有意识的思考来更好地解决，而关于复杂问题的决定可以通过无意识的思考来更好地解决。讨论了理论与决策策略、理论与直觉的关系。我们最后讨论了警告和未来的方向。
We present a theory about human thought named the unconscious-thought theory (UTT). The theory is applicable to decision making, impression formation, attitude formation and change, problem solving, and creativity. It distinguishes between two modes of thought: unconscious and conscious. Unconscious thought and conscious thought have different characteristics, and these different characteristics make each mode preferable under different circumstances. For instance, contrary to popular belief, decisions about simple issues can be better tackled by conscious thought, whereas decisions about complex matters can be better approached with unconscious thought. The relations between the theory and decision strategies, and between the theory and intuition, are discussed. We end by discussing caveats and future directions.
