Using Process Tracing to Understand Decoy Effects in Decision Making

pi建议调查“诱饵效应”，即当一个新的选择被添加到一组必须让一个人做出选择的选项中时，它所产生的影响。有时，这样的诱饵会产生相当矛盾的效果，比如增加选择集合中原始成员的可能性。调查人员将使用评估人们在这种诱饵效应实验中使用的信息收集过程的技术。眼动监测也将进行。总共提出了12个实验。

The PIs propose to investigate "decoy effects," which are the influences that a new alternative has when it is added to a set of options from which a person has to make a choice. Occasionally such decoys have quite paradoxical effects, such as increasing the likelihood of choosing an original member of the set. The investigators will use techniques which assess the information- gathering processes used by persons in such decoy effect experiments. Eye movement monitoring will also be done. A total of twelve experiments are proposed.
