讲座主要内容:
Sunk cost bias has been found in many domains, and various mechanisms have been proposed. The current study offers a novel perspective for understanding sunk cost bias. Drawing on previous findings suggesting that sunk cost bias may be adaptive and promoted by fundamental motives, we theorize that sunk cost bias may be a goal-oriented behavior in the mating domain and that the bias can extend to other consumption domains when mating cues are salient. One field study and seven experiments (six of which were pre-registered) demonstrate that mating cues strengthen an implemental mindset among male (vs. female) consumers. Consequently, male consumers exhibit a stronger sunk cost bias in consumption when mating cues are salient. However, this effect does not exist among female consumers due to differences in mating tactics. In addition, we distinguish our effect from status quo bias and rule out multiple alternative explanations of our results (including affect, overconfidence, investment-payoff link, persistence, perceived morality, shame, guilt, and disgust associated with abandoning the original option).
沉没成本偏见在众多领域均有发现,并且已有多种机制被提出以解释此现象。本研究从一个新的视角来探讨理解沉没成本偏见。基于以往研究指出沉没成本偏见可能具有进化适应性,并且由根本动机推动,我们提出一个理论:沉没成本偏见可能是求偶领域中的目标导向行为,并且在求偶线索显著时,此偏见能扩展到其他消费领域。通过一个现场研究和七项实验(六项预注册实验)发现,求偶线索加强了男性(与女性相比)消费者的实施型心态。因此,在求偶线索显著的情况下,男性消费者在消费行为中表现出更加明显的沉没成本偏见。然而,由于求偶策略上的差异,这一效应在女性消费者中并不显著。此外,本文还将沉没成本偏见与现状偏见进行了区分,并排除了包括情绪反应、过度自信、投资与回报的联系、坚持执着、对放弃原有选择所感知的道德性、羞愧、内疚及厌恶等多种可能的替代解释。
