Previous research indicates that the experience of agency over one's actions and movements is influenced by movement predictability as well as movement distance (Hon, Seow, & Pereira, 2018). Addressing previous limitations, we present a compelling test of the relation between movement distance and movement agency. Participants in two studies moved targets predictably or unpredictably, and for short, medium, or long distances. Following prior research, distractor cues moved in the opposite direction of the targets. Results showed that movement agency scores were higher for predictable compared to unpredictable movements. Results also consistently showed that when movements were predictable, longer distances by either the target or the distractor cues increased agency relative to shorter distances. Our findings replicate and extend previous findings showing that stimulus movement distances influence judgments of movement agency.

先前的研究表明，对一个人的动作和动作的代理体验受动作可预测性和动作距离的影响（Hon, Seow, & Pereira, 2018）。针对先前的限制，我们对运动距离和运动机构之间的关系进行了令人信服的测试。两项研究的参与者可预测地或不可预测地移动目标，以及短距离、中距离或长距离。根据先前的研究，干扰线索向与目标相反的方向移动。结果表明，与不可预测的运动相比，可预测运动的运动机构得分更高。结果还一致表明，当运动是可预测的时，目标或干扰线索的较长距离相对于较短距离增加了代理。
