Abstract

Previous studies have divided people into maximizers and satisficers based on their tendency to seek the best in decision-making. In the present research, we aim to unravel the time estimation process of maximizers in decision-making through four studies. The results indicate that maximizers tend to underestimate the time spent in decision-making, which is due to the difference in their memory reduction for decision-related information compared to that of satisficers. Specifically, maximizers' memories of special information (rather than common information) become worse than those of satisficers, which leads to their underestimation of decision time. These findings provide a deeper understanding of how maximizers estimate their decision time, which offers important insights into how maximizers make their decisions. Overall, this research contributes to the literature by shedding new light on maximization from the perspective of memory.

最大化者如何估算决策时间:记忆缩减的中介效应
以往的研究根据人们在决策中追求最佳的倾向,将他们分为最大化者和满足者。在本研究中,我们旨在通过四项研究来揭示最大化者在决策中的时间估计过程。结果表明,最大化者倾向于低估决策所花费的时间,这是因为他们对决策相关信息的记忆缩减程度与满足者不同。具体来说,最大化者对特殊信息(而非普通信息)的记忆比满足者更差,这导致他们低估了决策时间。这些发现加深了人们对最大化者如何估计其决策时间的理解,为我们了解最大化者如何做出决策提供了重要启示。总之,这项研究从记忆的角度对最大化做出了新的阐释,为相关文献做出了贡献。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Behavioral Decision Making is a multidisciplinary journal with a broad base of content and style. It publishes original empirical reports, critical review papers, theoretical analyses and methodological contributions. The Journal also features book, software and decision aiding technique reviews, abstracts of important articles published elsewhere and teaching suggestions. The objective of the Journal is to present and stimulate behavioral research on decision making and to provide a forum for the evaluation of complementary, contrasting and conflicting perspectives. These perspectives include psychology, management science, sociology, political science and economics. Studies of behavioral decision making in naturalistic and applied settings are encouraged.
