Adaptation to an unfamiliar currency is required regularly of international travellers – and also of citizens of countries changing their currency, such as the 19 (to date) Eurozone members. We report on the currency adaptation process in the Slovak Republic during 2008-2011. We analyse its effects on citizens’ development of price intuition in the euro. Our study draws on Hofmann et al.’s (2007) work, which proposed four different strategies for coping, ranging from direct numerical conversion to developing intuition. We conducted repeated cross-sectional surveys using structured questionnaires in realistic Slovak settings. We describe European and Slovak institutions’ supports for the public, such as dual display of prices, and readily available conversion tables. We found that, whereas the numerical conversion strategy was used most frequently by respondents in the first year, within two years they were already developing intuition in the new currency, especially for frequently bought products. We also investigated the ‘Euro Illusion’, the extent to which Slovak citizens, in their evaluation of prices, may have been influenced to make decisions based on nominal values, whereby prices in euros seemed smaller than those in Slovak crowns. We summarise suggestions for promoting learning in situations of currency change, and briefly discuss the features of the Slovak process as a ‘numerate environment’. KeywordsPrice intuition; numeracy; learning; intuition strategy; marker value strategy; anchor strategy; numerical conversion strategy.
对于国际旅行者来说,适应一种不熟悉的货币是必须的,对于那些正在改变货币的国家的公民来说也是如此,比如欧元区19个(迄今为止)成员国。我们报告了2008-2011年斯洛伐克共和国的货币调整过程。我们分析了它对欧元中公民价格直觉发展的影响。我们的研究借鉴了Hofmann et al.(2007)的工作,该工作提出了四种不同的应对策略,从直接的数值转换到发展直觉。我们在斯洛伐克的现实环境中使用结构化问卷进行了重复的横断面调查。我们描述了欧洲和斯洛伐克机构对公众的支持,如价格的双重显示,以及随时可用的换算表。我们发现,尽管受访者在第一年最常使用数字转换策略,但在两年内,他们已经对新货币产生了直觉,尤其是对经常购买的产品。我们还调查了“欧元错觉”,即斯洛伐克公民在评估价格时可能受到影响而根据名义价值做出决定的程度,即欧元价格似乎低于斯洛伐克克朗价格。我们总结了在货币变化的情况下促进学习的建议,并简要讨论了斯洛伐克进程作为“数字环境”的特点。KeywordsPrice直觉;计算能力;学习;直觉策略;市值策略;锚策略;数值转换策略。
