最大化决策风格描述了在决策中追求最大效用的人的风格,而满意风格则描述了对足够好的选择感到满意的人的风格。当前的研究集中于最大化决策风格的人内差异,并通过三项研究提供了解释。研究 1(N = 530)制定了特定领域的最大化量表,发现个体在不同领域有不同的最大化倾向。研究2(N = 162)和3(N = 106)通过问卷和实验从主观任务价值的角度进一步探讨了这一机制。研究发现,不同领域的最大化的人内差异是由相应领域中个人主观任务价值的差异驱动的。人们倾向于在他们更看重的领域发挥更大的作用。我们的研究有助于全面理解最大化,并为最大化决策风格的研究提供了新的视角。
The maximizing decision-making style describes the style of one who pursues maximum utility in decision-making, in contrast to the satisficing style, which describes the style of one who is satisfied with good enough options. The current research concentrates on the within-person variation in the maximizing decision-making style and provides an explanation through three studies. Study 1 (N = 530) developed a domain-specific maximizing scale and found that individuals had different maximizing tendencies across different domains. Studies 2 (N = 162) and 3 (N = 106) further explored this mechanism from the perspective of subjective task value through questionnaires and experiments. It was found that the within-person variation of maximization in different domains is driven by the difference in the individuals’ subjective task value in the corresponding domains. People tend to maximize more in the domains they value more. Our research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of maximization and provides a new perspective for the study of the maximizing decision-making style.
