害怕独处(孤立)可能与决策功能障碍密切相关。这项研究验证了一个预测,即强烈害怕孤立的人思考社会问题的能力会降低。作者通过在线调查对日本受访者进行了调查(N= 824)。结果显示,通过自我报告测量的对孤立的恐惧与发现不适当议程的能力呈负相关,与会议的目的不一致。此外,对孤立的恐惧与发现解决社会问题的原因及其解决方案的相关性较低的主张的能力呈负相关。这些结果表明,人们越害怕孤立,他们思考社会问题的能力就越低。基于这些发现,作者认为,对孤立的恐惧是思考社会问题能力较低的一个很好的预测因素。
The fear of spending time alone (isolation) may be closely related to dysfunction in decision‐making. This study tested the prediction that people who strongly fear isolation have a reduced ability to think about social issues. The authors polled Japanese respondents via an online survey (N= 824). The results revealed that fear of isolation, measured by self‐report, was negatively correlated with the ability to detect inappropriate agendas, inconsistent with a meeting's purpose. Additionally, fear of isolation was negatively correlated with a capacity to detect less relevant propositions addressing the causes of social issues and their solutions. These results showed that the more people feared isolation, the lower their ability to think about social issues. Based on these findings, the authors argue that fear of isolation is a good predictor of a lower ability for contemplating social issues.
