Intergenerational problems occur when current generations choose actions that benefit them, without fully considering future generations’ needs. This study posits that the public has a general tendency to serve as the proxy of future generations willingly, and aims to develop a visual narrative intervention measure to accelerate this willingness. The narrative was created based on an interview survey with a participant in a Future Design workshop as an “imaginary future generation.” Next, a laboratory experiment was designed using this visual narrative as an intervention tool, to assess the impact of this intervention on the experimental subjects’ political preferences and their concerns for future generations. A total of 186 subjects chose their most preferred option among four options prevalent in the life of the present generation, before and after the exposure to this intervention. The exposure to this visual narrative significantly changed the participants’ preferences as the proxies for future generations. After this intervention, the subjects wished that the present generation had chosen sustainable options more different from the status quo so that future generations would not experience regret from inaction (i.e., the regret of not having performed certain actions in the present), indicating that the intervention was effective in acquiring the perspective of future generations. This study demonstrates that individuals in the present generation can be motivated to take the perspective of those in future generations.

以子孙后代的视角进行视觉叙述

当后代在没有充分考虑后代需求的情况下选择对他们有利的行动时,就会发生代际问题。这项研究认为,公众普遍愿意随心所欲地代代相传,并旨在制定一种视觉叙事干预措施来加快这种意愿。叙述是根据对未来设计工作室的参与者进行的访谈调查而创建的,作为“想象中的下一代”。接下来,设计了一个实验室实验,使用这种视觉叙事作为干预工具,以评估这种干预对实验对象的政治偏好及其对子孙后代的关注的影响。在当前这一代人普遍使用的四个选项中,共有186个对象选择了他们最喜欢的选项,暴露于此干预前后。对这种视觉叙事的了解极大地改变了参与者作为后代的偏好。在进行了这种干预之后,受试者希望当代人选择了与现状不同的可持续选择,以使子孙后代不会因无所作为而感到遗憾(即,在当前没有采取某些行动的遗憾中),这表明干预有效地获得了后代的观点。这项研究表明,当代人可以被激励去接受后代的观点。对这种视觉叙事的了解极大地改变了参与者作为后代的偏好。在进行了这种干预之后,受试者希望当代人选择了与现状不同的可持续选择,以使子孙后代不会因无所作为而感到遗憾(即,在当前没有采取某些行动的遗憾中),这表明干预有效地获得了后代的观点。这项研究表明,当代人可以被激励去接受后代的观点。对这种视觉叙事的了解极大地改变了参与者作为后代的偏好。在进行了这种干预之后,受试者希望当代人选择了与现状不同的可持续选择,以使子孙后代不会因无所作为而感到遗憾(即,在当前没有采取某些行动的遗憾中),这表明干预有效地获得了后代的观点。这项研究表明,当代人可以被激励去接受后代的观点。受试者希望当代人选择的可持续性选择方式与现状相比有所不同,以使子孙后代不会因无所作为而感到遗憾(即,遗憾的是目前没有采取某些行动),这表明干预措施是有效的。获得对子孙后代的看法。这项研究表明,当代人可以被激励去接受后代的观点。受试者希望当代人选择的可持续性选择方式与现状相比有所不同,以使子孙后代不会因无所作为而感到遗憾(即,遗憾的是目前没有采取某些行动),这表明干预措施是有效的。获得对子孙后代的看法。这项研究表明,当代人可以被激励去接受后代的观点。
