ABSTRACT

People’s belief that one or more environmentally friendly items that are added to a set of conventional items can reduce the total environmental impact of these items (the negative footprint illusion) could lead to unwanted environmental consequences. An averaging bias seems to underpin this illusion: people make their estimates based on the average of the environmental impact produced by the items rather than the accumulated sum. We report four studies that used various priming manipulations to explore whether people’s preoccupation to think in terms of an average can be eliminated by fostering a summative mindset. The results demonstrate that participants avoid succumbing to the negative footprint illusion when the critical judgment task is preceded by tasks that engender a summation judgment. Our evidence indicates that the negative footprint illusion can be tempered when a primed concept (summation) is used adaptively on subsequent judgments, thereby correcting for bias in environmental judgments.

累积启动可以消除负面的足迹幻觉吗?

摘要

人们认为,添加到一组常规项目中的一个或多个环保项目可以减少这些项目对环境的总体影响(负面的足迹错觉)可能会导致不良的环境后果。平均的偏见似乎支撑了这种幻觉:人们根据物品产生的环境影响的平均值而不是累积的总和来进行估算。我们报告了四项研究,这些研究使用各种启动方法来探索人们是否可以通过促进总结来消除以平均值为中心的思考方式心态。结果表明,当关键判断任务之前要进行求和判断时,参与者避免屈服于负面足迹错觉。我们的证据表明,当在随后的判断中自适应使用有准备的概念(求和)时,可以减轻负面的足迹幻觉,从而纠正环境判断中的偏差。
