Abstract

Abstract We framed crime victims as lucky, through downward counterfactual comparisons, and tested this “luck framing” influence on observers’ judgments of the victims. Victims framed as lucky and aware (Experiment 1) or unaware (Experiment 3) of their luck were rated as in need of less social support than victims who were not framed as lucky. This luck framing effect generalized to victim compensation: lucky aware victims were rated as deserving of less compensation compared to unlucky victims (Experiment 2). In contrast, luck framing of victims had little influence on observers’ judgments of the severity of the sentence a perpetrator should receive (Experiment 4). Taken together, for crime victims it can be bad to be thought of as lucky.

运气不好的时候：观察者对幸运受害者的判断

摘要我们通过向下的反事实比较，将犯罪受害者框定为幸运的，并测试了这种“幸运框”对观察者对受害者判断的影响。被诬陷为幸运并意识到（实验1）或不知道（实验3）自己的运气的受害者被评为需要比没有被诬陷幸运的受害者更少的社会支持。这种运气框架效应适用于受害者赔偿：与不幸的受害者相比，幸运的受害者被认为应该得到更少的赔偿（实验2）。相比之下，受害者的运气框架对观察者对犯罪者应该受到的判决的严重程度的判断几乎没有影响（实验4）。总之，对于犯罪受害者来说，被认为是幸运的可能是不好的。
