Abstract

People tend to remember information from which they chose better than information assigned to them-a pattern known as the self-choice effect. The present studies tested the hypothesis that choosing for another person also improves memory. Studies 1a and 1b found that choosing for self and choosing for others both enhance memory compared with having no choice. Study 2 found that choosing for others boosts memory regardless of the closeness of the other. Study 3 found no memory benefit of making easy or difficult choices for others, contrary to predictions. And in Study 4 choosing for others enhanced memory only for chosen items. A mini meta-analysis combining all studies supported the conclusion that choosing for others enhances memory on a par with choosing for oneself. These results suggest that the effects of choice on memory signify something other than self-reference, which we presume to be substantially reduced when choosing for others.

为他人选择时的自我选择效应
人们对自己选择的信息的记忆往往好于分配给自己的信息--这种模式被称为自我选择效应。本研究测试了 "为他人选择也能提高记忆力 "这一假设。研究 1a 和 1b 发现,与没有选择相比,为自己选择和为他人选择都能增强记忆。研究 2 发现,无论对方亲疏,为他人做选择都能增强记忆力。研究 3 发现,为他人做出容易或困难的选择都不会增强记忆力,这与预测相反。而在研究 4 中,为他人做选择只增强了对所选项目的记忆。一项综合所有研究的小型荟萃分析支持这样的结论,即为他人做选择与为自己做选择一样,都能增强记忆。这些结果表明,选择对记忆的影响并不意味着自我参照,我们推测在为他人选择时,自我参照会大大减少。
