這項研究探討了人們對美的看法,特別是關於美是否可以改變的信念,如何影響其冒險行為。 研究人員發現,認為美是可塑且可以透過努力改善的人(稱為「成長型心態」)比認為美是固定不變的人(稱為「實體型心態」)更傾向於承擔風險。 這種關聯似乎是由於對生活中能獲得積極結果感到更加樂觀所致。 實驗結果顯示,這種對美的信念所產生的影響,甚至可以擴展到與美無直接相關的領域。
Abstract
Beauty has pervasive implications for success in various domains of life. Given this broad and visible nature, whether and how a belief in the improvability of this important human attribute influences judgment and decision-making is largely unknown. We found that beauty implicit theories can produce strong cross-domain impact on risk-taking behavior. Using both hypothetical choices and real behaviors in one cross-country survey and nine experiments, including three supplementary studies (N = 4,015), we found that (a) incremental theorists, who believed that beauty is malleable and improvable, took greater risks than entity theorists, who believed that beauty is fixed, and (b) an incremental belief of beauty heightens a sense of optimism that one will achieve positive outcomes in various domains of life, which consequently promotes risk-seeking behavior. These findings demonstrate that domain-specific implicit theory (i.e. beauty in our case) can affect behavior beyond that domain (non-beauty related risk-taking).
