虽然先前的研究发现人们通常不重视别人的建议，但这种不重视建议的情况并不普遍。两项研究调查了任务难度对建议使用的影响。在这两项研究中，参与者用来衡量建议的策略随着任务难度的不同而变化，即使不应该如此。特别是，研究结果表明，人们倾向于在困难的任务上接受超重的建议，而在简单的任务上接受过轻的建议。无论建议是自动提供的，还是人们必须自己寻找，这种模式都是成立的。本文讨论了在何种情况下人们会接受顾问的影响。版权所有(c) 2006约翰威利父子有限公司
Although prior studies have found that people generally underweight advice from others, such discounting of advice is not universal. Two studies examined the impact of task difficulty on the use of advice. In both studies, the strategy participants used to weigh advice varied with task difficulty even when it should not have. In particular, the results show that people tend to overweight advice on difficult tasks and underweight advice on easy tasks. This pattern held regardless of whether advice was automatically provided or whether people had to seek it out. The paper discusses implications for the circumstances under which people will be open to influence by advisors. Copyright (c) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
