Abstract

This research sought to test the hypothesis that regulatory fit enhances people’s feelings of autonomy. Regulatory fit can be created by prompting people to execute a task using means of task execution that fit (vs. do not fit) their preferred means of goal-pursuit. Assigning people to do a task using a particular means implies they do not exercise choice in applying their preferred means of goal-pursuit. Nevertheless, we reasoned that fitting task means would lead to higher feelings of autonomy while working on a task because, under conditions of regulatory fit, people are using the means that they would have chosen if they had been given choice. We conducted 10 experiments (total N = 3,124) to test the effect of regulatory fit versus regulatory non-fit on experienced autonomy and a meta-analysis of the effects supported our hypothesis for both promotion focus-based fit and prevention focus-based fit.

监管契合度对经验自治的影响

这项研究试图验证一种假设，即监管契合度能增强人们的自主性。可以通过提示人们使用适合(vs.不适合)他们首选的目标追求方法的任务执行方法来执行任务来创建调节契合。分配人们使用特定的手段来完成任务意味着他们在使用自己喜欢的目标追求手段时没有行使选择权。然而，我们推断，在完成任务时，合适的任务方式会导致更高的自主性，因为在调节合适的条件下，人们使用的是如果他们有选择的话会选择的方式。我们进行了10个实验(总N = 3,124)来测试监管契合与监管不契合对经验自主的影响，并对影响进行了meta分析，支持我们的基于促进焦点的契合和基于预防焦点的契合的假设。
