进行了一项实地实验，以评估91名养老院居民增强个人责任和选择的影响。据估计，许多住在养老院的老年人身体虚弱，至少部分是生活在几乎没有决定权的环境中造成的，因此，这种情况有可能逆转。实验组的居民被给予强调他们对自己的责任的沟通，而给予第二组的沟通强调了工作人员对他们的责任。此外，为了加强沟通，前一组被赋予了做出选择的自由和照顾植物的责任，而不是像后一组那样由工作人员做出决定并照顾植物。问卷评分和行为测量显示，实验组在警觉性、积极参与和总体幸福感方面比对照组有显着改善。(29参考）（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020阿帕，保留所有权利）
Conducted a field experiment to assess the effects of enhanced personal responsibility and choice on 91 nursing home residents. It was expected that the debilitated condition of many of the aged residing in institutional settings is, at least in part, a result of living in a virtually decision-free environment and, consequently, is potentially reversible. Residents who were in the experimental group were given a communication emphasizing their responsibility for themselves, whereas the communication given to a 2nd group stressed the staff's responsibility for them. In addition, to bolster the communication, the former group was given the freedom to make choices and the responsibility of caring for a plant rather than having decisions made and the plant taken care of for them by the staff, as was the case for the latter group. Questionnaire ratings and behavioral measures showed a significant improvement for the experimental group over the comparison group on alertness, active participation, and a general sense of well-being.(29 ref)(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
