提前计划我们的行动是行动控制的重要手段，并增加在关键时间点启动预期行动的可能性(Gollwitzer，1999；Gollwitzer&Oettingen，2016)。在目前的研究中，我们调查了计划彻底深思熟虑是否也可以增加必要时深思熟虑的可能性。由于深思熟虑的增加往往与更充分地使用现有信息有关，我们预测，深思熟虑的计划会导致人们更紧密地调整他们目前的行动方针，以适应新的可获得的信息。我们在三个实验中验证了这一预测，在这三个实验中，参与者面临在获得新信息后继续或退出所选行动方案的决定。第一个实验使用既定的承诺升级范式(研究1)；第二个和第三个实验使用基于扑克纸牌游戏的更自然主义的任务(研究2和3)。在所有三项研究中，通过形成执行意图在关键时间点进行审议的计划减少了坚持失败的行动方针的倾向，这表明可以使用审议计划来增加审议的可能性，从而有效处理新获得的信息。(C)2016 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Planning our actions in advance is an important means of action control and increases the likelihood of initiating intended actions at critical points in time (Gollwitzer, 1999; Gollwitzer & Oettingen, 2016). In the current research, we investigate whether planning to deliberate thoroughly can also increase the likelihood of deliberation when it is needed. As an increase in deliberation is often associated with more thorough use of available information, we predict that planning to deliberate causes people to adjust their current course of action more closely to newly available information. We test this prediction in three experiments in which the participants are faced with the decision to continue with or disengage from a chosen course of action after new information has become available. The first experiment uses an established escalation of commitment paradigm (Study 1); the second and third experiment use a more naturalistic task based on the card game of poker (Studies 2 & 3). In all three studies, planning to deliberate at a critical point in time by forming implementation intentions reduced the tendency to stick to a failing course of action, suggesting that plans to deliberate can be used to increase the likelihood of deliberation and thereby the effective processing of newly available information.
