Abstract

Humans have long pondered the distinction between action and inaction. Classic work in social sciences provides evidence that most people believe that others experience higher levels of affect when they obtain the same outcome through action as opposed to inaction. In this paper, we theorize that people's attributions of affect to identical outcomes resulting from action versus inaction are largely constructive in nature, such that they heavily depend on the elicitation procedure. Seven preregistered studies demonstrate that most individuals cease to attribute greater affect to identical outcomes resulting from action as opposed to inaction when it is made possible-or salient-that they can state that action and inaction are associated with equal levels of affect. Consequently, the present studies suggest that researchers can reach different conclusions about participants' general proclivity to attribute greater affect to identical outcomes resulting from action (vs. inaction) depending on how participants' beliefs are measured.

诱导程序如何影响对他人行动和不行动的情感反应的信念。
人类长期以来一直在思考行动与不行动之间的区别。社会科学领域的经典研究证明,大多数人认为,当他人通过行动而不是不行动获得相同结果时,他们会体验到更高水平的情感。在本文中,我们从理论上认为,人们对行动与不行动所产生的相同结果的情感归因在很大程度上是建构性的,因此它们在很大程度上取决于诱导程序。七项预先登记的研究表明,当有可能或突出表明行动和不行动与同等程度的情感相关联时,大多数人不再将更大的情感归因于行动与不行动所导致的相同结果。因此,本研究表明,研究人员可以根据参与者信念的测量方法,对参与者将更大的情感归因于行动(与不行动)所导致的相同结果的普遍倾向得出不同的结论。
