Abstract There are large individual differences in navigation ability, but we know little about the causes of these differences. Here, we examine how motivational and emotional dispositions affect every-day navigation and in turn influence navigation ability. We developed three new self-report surveys, measuring growth mindset in regard to navigation ability, tendency to explore new places, and tendency to rely on Global Positioning Systems (GPS) during navigation. In Study 1 (N = 123) we developed initial measures and in Study 2 (N = 150) we refined these measures and developed mediation models to test how motivational and emotional dispositions affect human navigation. Findings indicated that people with low spatial anxiety tend to explore their environments more and rely less on GPS during navigation. Moreover, these navigation behaviors partially mediate the relationship between anxiety and self-reported navigation ability. Growth mindset in navigation ability (a belief that one's navigation ability can be improved) explains a unique portion of variance in self-reported navigation ability, suggesting that growth mindset may motivate people to seek out navigation challenges and train themselves to be more effective navigators in daily life. This study paves a new path for understanding how motivational and emotional dispositions affect the development of navigation ability and provides insights for future navigation training programs. The new self-report surveys and a revised Spatial Anxiety Survey are available on the Open Science Framework website.

焦虑和成长心态如何与导航能力相关联:探索和 GPS 使用的影响

摘要 导航能力存在较大的个体差异,但我们对这些差异的原因知之甚少。在这里,我们研究动机和情绪倾向如何影响日常导航,进而影响导航能力。我们开发了三项新的自我报告调查,衡量在导航能力、探索新地方的倾向以及在导航过程中依赖全球定位系统 (GPS) 的倾向方面的成长心态。在研究 1 (N = 123) 中,我们开发了初始测量,在研究 2 (N = 150) 中,我们改进了这些测量并开发了中介模型来测试动机和情绪倾向如何影响人类导航。研究结果表明,空间焦虑低的人在导航过程中倾向于更多地探索他们的环境,更少依赖 GPS。而且,这些导航行为在一定程度上调节了焦虑和自我报告导航能力之间的关系。导航能力的成长心态(相信一个人的导航能力可以提高)解释了自我报告的导航能力差异的独特部分,表明成长心态可能会激励人们寻找导航挑战并训练自己成为更有效的导航者日常生活。这项研究为理解动机和情绪倾向如何影响导航能力的发展铺平了道路,并为未来的导航培训计划提供了见解。新的自我报告调查和修订后的空间焦虑调查可在开放科学框架网站上找到。导航能力的成长心态(相信一个人的导航能力可以提高)解释了自我报告的导航能力差异的独特部分,表明成长心态可能会激励人们寻找导航挑战并训练自己成为更有效的导航者日常生活。这项研究为理解动机和情绪倾向如何影响导航能力的发展铺平了道路,并为未来的导航培训计划提供了见解。新的自我报告调查和修订后的空间焦虑调查可在开放科学框架网站上找到。导航能力的成长心态(相信一个人的导航能力可以提高)解释了自我报告的导航能力差异的独特部分,表明成长心态可能会激励人们寻找导航挑战并训练自己成为更有效的导航者日常生活。这项研究为理解动机和情绪倾向如何影响导航能力的发展铺平了道路,并为未来的导航培训计划提供了见解。新的自我报告调查和修订后的空间焦虑调查可在开放科学框架网站上找到。表明成长心态可能会激励人们寻找导航挑战并训练自己成为日常生活中更有效的导航者。这项研究为理解动机和情绪倾向如何影响导航能力的发展铺平了道路,并为未来的导航培训计划提供了见解。新的自我报告调查和修订后的空间焦虑调查可在开放科学框架网站上找到。表明成长心态可能会激励人们寻找导航挑战并训练自己成为日常生活中更有效的导航者。这项研究为理解动机和情绪倾向如何影响导航能力的发展铺平了道路,并为未来的导航培训计划提供了见解。新的自我报告调查和修订后的空间焦虑调查可在开放科学框架网站上找到。
