客观计算能力较高(与较低)的人使用概率和数学概念的能力较高,在做出决策时更多地使用数字信息。具体地说,他们对数字水平比数字较少的人更敏感,并且使用更多的数字信息而不是非数字信息。对数字的更多关注可能会解释这种效应,但关于客观算术与数字注意的关系以及随后可能对选择产生的影响,我们知之甚少。因此,我们调查了算术是否与在消费者的判断和选择中更多地关注数字和更多地使用数字有关。最重要的是,我们测试了数字注意是否会影响选择中的数字使用。在三个实验中,我们向参与者提供了关于不同消费品(例如洗碗机)的信息。参与者要么只收到数字,要么同时收到数字和口头信息。在研究1(N= 548)中,参与者被要求对产品吸引力进行评级。在研究2a和2b(N= 187和399)中,参与者在产品对之间进行选择。注意力被用Mouselab记录下来。更强的客观算力与对数字的敏感性无关,但与在做出选择时更多地使用数字(而不是语言)信息有关。计算能力和注意力之间的联系在不同的研究中并不一致,尽管结合这些研究的荟萃分析显示,计算能力和注意数字的频率之间存在微弱但显著的关系。在更有力的研究2b(而不是2a)中,这种注意力变量中介了算术和数字使用之间的联系。我们的研究强调了在学习算术时考虑注意力的潜力,并为设计决策辅助工具提供了见解。
People higher (vs. lower) in objective numeracy—the ability to use probabilistic and mathematical concepts—use numeric information more when making decisions. Specifically, they are more sensitive to numeric levels than the less numerate and use more numeric versus nonnumeric information. Greater attention to numbers may explain this effect, but little is known about objective numeracy's relation to numeric attention and possible subsequent effects on choice. Therefore, we investigated whether numeracy is related to greater attention to numbers and greater use of numbers in consumer judgments and choices. Crucially, we tested whether numeric attention mediated number use in choices. In three experiments, we provided participants with information about different consumer products (e.g., dishwasher). Participants received either numbers‐only or both numbers and verbal information. In Study 1 (N= 548), participants were asked to rate product attractiveness. In Studies 2a and 2b (N= 187 and 399), participants instead chose between product pairs. Attention was recorded using Mouselab. Greater objective numeracy was not related to sensitivity to numbers, but it was related to using numeric (instead of verbal) information more when making choices. The association of numeracy and attention was inconsistent across studies, although a meta‐analysis combining the studies revealed a weak but significant relation between numeracy and frequency of attending to numbers. This attention variable mediated the association of numeracy and number use in the more powered Study 2b (but not 2a). Our research highlights the potential of considering attention when studying numeracy and provides insights for designing decision aids.
