Abstract

This study aims to systematically reveal the application of behavioural economics theories in information-seeking behaviour research to promote the theoretical development of information-seeking behaviour research. A systematic review method was utilised to collect 92 relevant articles published from 1989 to 2022. The temporal development of these articles, research themes, and the theoretical contributions of behavioural economics theories to information-seeking behaviour research were organised and analysed. The findings are as follows: First, behavioural economics theories have been applied in information-seeking behaviour research for more than30 years and have entered an accelerated development stage. Second, behavioural economics theories are widely adaptable to information-seeking behaviour research. Early behavioural economics theories are applicable to 10 research topics such as information-seeking stopping behaviour and information evaluation, while contemporary behavioural economics theories are applicable to 16 research topics: information-seeking strategies and health information-seeking. Third, behavioural economics theories have produced four contributions to information-seeking behaviour research by revealing the mechanisms underlying information-seeking behaviour, exploring behavioural and cognitive strategies in information-seeking behaviour, interpreting the biases underlying information-seeking behaviour, and constructing theoretical models for information-seeking behaviour.

信息搜寻行为研究中的行为经济学理论：系统回顾

本研究旨在系统揭示行为经济学理论在信息搜寻行为研究中的应用，以促进信息搜寻行为研究的理论发展。本研究采用系统综述的方法，收集了 1989 年至 2022 年间发表的 92 篇相关文章。对这些文章的时间发展、研究主题以及行为经济学理论对信息搜寻行为研究的理论贡献进行了整理和分析。研究结果如下：首先，行为经济学理论在信息搜寻行为研究中的应用已有 30 多年的历史，并已进入加速发展阶段。第二，行为经济学理论在信息搜寻行为研究中具有广泛的适应性。早期的行为经济学理论适用于信息搜寻停止行为、信息评价等 10 个研究课题，当代的行为经济学理论适用于信息搜寻策略、健康信息搜寻等 16 个研究课题。第三，行为经济学理论对信息搜寻行为研究做出了四项贡献，即揭示了信息搜寻行为的内在机制、探索了信息搜寻行为中的行为和认知策略、解释了信息搜寻行为中的偏差、构建了信息搜寻行为的理论模型。
