Abstract

ABSTRACT Two experiments examined whether perceived content challenge, self-control, and trait variables predicted participants’ choice of a spoiled/unspoiled movie review. Study 1 found that perceived content challenge influenced spoiler selection as a function of need for cognition. Self-control had no effect. In Study 2, participants chose spoilers when content was perceived to be cognitively challenging but not affectively challenging. Need for affect moderated these effects. Choosing spoiler-laden reviews was also associated with reduced anticipated enjoyment and intention to watch the full film. The results point to the importance of trait and content variables in spoiler selection.

寻求剧透:内容挑战、自我控制和特征对剧透选择的影响

两个实验考察了感知内容挑战、自我控制和性格变量是否能预测参与者对剧透/未剧透电影评论的选择。研究1发现，感知内容挑战作为认知需求的函数影响剧透选择。自我控制没有效果。在研究2中，当内容被认为具有认知挑战性但不具有情感挑战性时，参与者选择剧透。情感需求缓和了这些影响。选择充满剧透的评论也会降低预期的乐趣和观看完整电影的意愿。结果表明，性状变量和含量变量在扰流片选择中的重要性。
