人们通常寻求积极的情绪并避免消极的情绪;然而,尚不清楚哪种动机更为明显。两项研究通过基于支付意愿 (WTP) 方法开发基于价值的情绪排名来解决这个问题。该方法利用了货币的基本属性,并假设了日常购买的机会成本。在研究 1 中,英国参与者表示,他们愿意花更多钱来体验积极情绪,而不是避免消极情绪。在研究 2 中,这种积极偏见在另一个英国参与者样本中得到了复制。然而,与英国参与者相比,香港华人参与者并没有表现出这种偏好,他们愿意花更少的钱来体验积极情绪,但愿意花更多钱来避免负面情绪。在所有样本中,“体验爱”被赋予了最高的支付意愿判断。因此,某些情感受到普遍重视,而对其他情感的偏好则因文化群体的不同而有所不同,这可能是由规范所决定的。讨论了出于政策目的评估心理状态的影响。
People generally seek out positive moods and avoid negative moods; however, it is unclear which motivation is more pronounced. Two studies addressed this issue by developing a value-based ranking of emotions based on the willingness to pay (WTP) approach. The approach utilizes money’s cardinal properties and assumes opportunity costs as with everyday purchases. In Study 1 British participants indicated they would be willing to pay more to experience positive than to avoid negative emotions. In Study 2 this positivity bias was replicated with another sample of British participants. However, Hong Kong Chinese participants did not show such a preference, and were willing to pay significantly less to experience positive emotions but more to avoid negative emotions when compared with British participants. Experiencing Love was given the highest WTP judgment in all samples. Thus, some emotions are universally valued, whereas preferences for others differ across cultural groups, perhaps shaped by norms. Implications concerning valuations of psychological states for policy purposes are discussed.
