CAREER: Silver Clouds, Dark Linings: The 'More Fun = Less Good' and Other Intuitions

职业：银云，暗线：“更多的乐趣=更少的好”和其他直觉这个建议建立在这样一个想法上，即人们认为越令人愉快或有趣的东西（产品，活动，人），就越不健康或好。如果人们真的认同这种“越有趣越不好”的直觉，那么检验它的有效性就很重要：现实世界刺激的有趣性和好性之间的真正相关性是负面的吗？例如，好看的汽车是否不太安全，有吸引力的人是否不太聪明，美味的食物是否不太健康？探索直觉对决策的影响也很重要：对直觉的认同如何影响推理、判断和选择？ 这项研究测试了一些命题围绕这些问题。具体来说，我检验了以下命题：（1）刺激的有趣性和善良性之间的真实相关性并不像人们所认为的那样是负相关的;（2）人们仍然依赖直觉进行推理、判断和选择;因此，即使那些不同意刺激的有趣性和善良性是负相关的人，也会做出决定，好像他们赞同直觉。这些主张将通过调查、二手数据分析和实验方法加以检验。

CAREER: Silver Clouds, Dark Linings: The 'More Fun = Less Good' and Other IntuitionsThis proposal builds on the idea that people assume that the more enjoyable or fun something (a product, activity, person) is, the less wholesome or good it is. If people do subscribe to this More Fun = Less Good intuition, it is important to examine its validity: is the true correlation between fun-ness and goodness of real-world stimuli negative? For example, are better looking cars less safe, attractive people less intelligent and tasty foods less healthy? It is also important to explore the impact of the intuition on decision-making: how does subscribing to the intuition influence inferences, judgments and choices? This research tests a number of propositions centered on these questions. Specifically, I test the proposition that: (1) the real-world correlation between the fun-ness and goodness of stimuli is not as negative as people believe it is, (2) people rely on the intuition, nevertheless, to make inferences, judgments and choices, and (3) people may not be aware of the influence of the intuition on their decision-making; as such, even those who do report disagreeing that the fun-ness and goodness of stimuli are negatively correlated nevertheless make decisions as if they subscribed to the intuition. These propositions are to be tested through a combination of surveys, secondary data analyses and experimental approaches.
