Abstract

Motivated reasoning refers to the idea that people hold certain beliefs about themselves or the world due to their desire to do so, rather than striving for accuracy. This type of belief formation can lead to overconfidence and polarization, as well as facilitate immoral behavior at both the individual and collective levels. One of the supply-side mechanisms for motivated reasoning is motivated memory, or the selective retrieval of past experiences or information based on self-serving criteria. In this article, we review the still young economics literature on motivated memory. Summarizing both theoretical and empirical work, we highlight the key results this literature has produced. We also discuss open questions and potentially exciting avenues for future research in this area.

经济学中的动机记忆——综述
动机推理是指人们对自己或世界抱有某些信念,而不是追求准确性。这种类型的信仰形成会导致过度自信和两极分化,并助长个人和集体层面的不道德行为。动机推理的供应方机制之一是动机记忆,或基于自我服务标准对过去经历或信息的选择性检索。在这篇文章中,我们回顾了仍然年轻的关于动机记忆的经济学文献。总结理论和实证工作,我们强调了这篇文献所产生的关键结果。我们还讨论了这一领域未来研究的悬而未决的问题和潜在的令人兴奋的途径。
