人类福祉研究和动物福利科学是不同的领域,但它们有一个共同的问题:是什么让生命变得有价值?在本章中,我们提出有效性这一新的动机理论(Higgins,2012)可能为在人类和其他动物中探索这个问题的答案提供一个共同基础。有效性方法认为,人和其他动物希望成功地获得期望的结果(价值有效性)、确定真实情况(真理有效性)和管理发生的事情(控制有效性),并且重要的是,当这三个领域共同努力创造组织有效性时,就会产生福祉和福利。在本章中,我们提供证据支持人类和其他动物希望在这三个领域取得成功的主张。然后,我们特别展示了组织有效性如何将福祉和福利文献联系在一起。我们以最近的经验证据来结束这一章,证明有效性方法所提供的独特贡献,并为未来的研究提出了途径。
Human well-being research and animal welfare science are separate fields, yet they share a common question: What makes life worth living? In this chapter, we propose that effectiveness, a new theory of motivation (Higgins, 2012), may provide a common ground for exploring the answer to this question in humans and other animals. The effectiveness approach contends that people and other animals want to be successful in having desired results (value effectiveness), establishing what is real (truth effectiveness), and managing what happens (control effectiveness) and that, importantly, well-being and welfare result when these three domains work together to create organizational effectiveness. In this chapter, we provide evidence supporting the claim that humans and other animals want to succeed in each of these three domains. We then demonstrate how organizational effectiveness, in particular, ties together the well-being and welfare literatures. We end the chapter with recent empirical evidence of the unique contribution provided by the effectiveness approach and suggest avenues for future research.
