摘要

危险行为是对健康的严重威胁,也是发达国家发病率和死亡率的主要原因。尽管已知的负面后果,人们继续滥用酒精和毒品、吸烟、暴饮暴食、从事危险的性行为以及在酒精和毒品的影响下开车。这可能是因为他们认为这些行为是最好的,有时是实现重要目标的唯一手段。为了理解和预防危害健康的行为,科学家和决策者应该考虑这些行为的功能。以目标追求原则为基础的理论框架有助于解释(A)为什么危害健康的行为成为人们实现目标的一种手段,以及(b)尽管已知有负面后果,但促进发起和维持危害健康行为的心理过程。追求目标的原则可以为减少健康风险行为及其负面后果的政策提供信息。

People Downplay Health Risks to Fulfill Their Goals: A Motivational Framework for Guiding Behavioral Policy
Risky behaviors represent serious threats to health and the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. Despite known negative consequences, people continue to abuse alcohol and drugs, to smoke, overeat, engage in risky sexual behavior, and drive under the influence of alcohol and drugs. This might happen because they perceive these behaviors as the best and sometimes the only means to fulfill important goals. To understand and to prevent health-risk behavior, scientists and policy-makers should consider the function that these behaviors serve. A theoretical framework based on the principles of goal pursuit helps explain (a) why health-risk behaviors become a means to people’s goals and (b) the psychological processes that facilitate initiation and maintenance of health-risk behaviors despite known negative consequences. Principles of goal pursuit could inform policy to reduce health-risk behaviors and their negative consequences.
