摘要

一篇丰富的文献发现，个人会回避信息，并表明回避是由形象问题驱动的。本文首次直接测试了个人是否因图像问题而回避信息。我们建立在一个经典的范式之上，引入了进行最小更改的控制条件，以消除图像问题的作用，同时保持环境的其他关键特征不变。来自6421名实验对象的数据显示，图像问题在避免驾驶信息方面发挥了作用，但其作用远小于人们的预期。

Information Avoidance and Image Concerns.

A rich literature finds that individuals avoid information and suggests that avoidance is driven by image concerns. This paper provides the first direct test of whether individuals avoid information because of image concerns. We build on a classic paradigm, introducing control conditions that make minimal changes to eliminate the role of image concerns while keeping other key features of the environment unchanged. Data from 6,421 experimental subjects shows that image concerns play a role in driving information avoidance, but a role that is substantially smaller than one might have expected.
