Survey responses to quantitative financial questions frequently display strong patterns of heaping at round numbers. This paper uses two studies to examine variation in rounding across questions and by individual characteristics. Rounding was more common for respondents low in ability, for respondents low in motivation, and for more difficult questions, all consistent with theories of satisficing. Questions that require more difficult information retrieval and integration of information exhibit more heaping. The use of records, which lowers task difficulty, reduces rounding as well. Higher episodic memory is associated with less rounding, and standard measures of motivation are negatively associated with rounding. These relationships, along with the fact that longer response latencies are associated with less rounding, all support the idea that rounding is a manifestation of satisficing on open-ended financial questions. Rounding patterns also appear remarkably similar across the two studies, despite being fielded in different modes and employing different question order and wording.

围绕财务问题进行大量讨论:满意度的作用。
对定量财务问题的调查回答经常显示出很强的整数堆积模式。本文使用两项研究来考察问题的四舍五入和个人特征的变化。对于能力低下的受访者,动机低下的受访者以及较困难的问题,四舍五入更为普遍,所有这些都与满意度理论相一致。需要更困难的信息检索和信息集成的问题会出现更多的堆积。记录的使用降低了任务难度,也减少了舍入。较高的情节记忆与较少的舍入相关,而动机的标准量度与舍入负相关。这些关系以及较长的响应延迟与较少的舍入相关联,所有人都支持四舍五入是对开放式财务问题感到满意的体现。尽管在不同的模式下使用了不同的问题顺序和措词,但在这两项研究中,四舍五入模式也显得非常相似。
