摘要

摘要人们经常使用隐喻来讨论他们的财务前景——例如，寻找财富或寻找财富。本研究的目的是利用概念隐喻理论来研究隐喻的使用对金钱焦虑和消费意向的影响。具体来说，在三个实验中，参与者被随机分配完成一个单词搜索谜题，他们要么在哪里找到了单词fortune，要么在哪里搜索但找不到单词wealth。结果显示，与寻找财富相比，寻找财富一词的行为减少了对金钱的担忧（研究1-3），增加了消费意愿（研究3）。这些发现表明，与金钱相关的微妙隐喻的激活如何影响人们对金钱的态度和感知。

The Influence of Money-related Metaphors on Financial Anxiety and Spending

ABSTRACT People often use metaphors to discuss their financial prospects – for example, finding a fortune or searching for wealth. The purpose of the present research was to utilize conceptual metaphor theory to study the effect of metaphor use on money anxiety and spending intentions. Specifically, in three experiments, participants were randomly assigned to complete a word search puzzle where they either found the word fortune or where they searched but were unable to find the word wealth. The results revealed that the act of finding the word fortune in comparison to searching for wealth decreased concerns about money (Studies 1–3) and increased spending intentions (Study 3). These findings suggest how the activation of subtle money-related metaphors can influence attitudes and perceptions toward money.

期刊介绍： Metaphor and Symbol: A Quarterly Journal is an innovative, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of metaphor and other figurative devices in language (e.g., metonymy, irony) and other expressive forms (e.g., gesture and bodily actions, artworks, music, multimodal media). The journal is interested in original, empirical, and theoretical research that incorporates psychological experimental studies, linguistic and corpus linguistic studies, cross-cultural/linguistic comparisons, computational modeling, philosophical analyzes, and literary/artistic interpretations. A common theme connecting published work in the journal is the examination of the interface of figurative language and expression with cognitive, bodily, and cultural experience; hence, the journal''s international editorial board is composed of scholars and experts in the fields of psychology, linguistics, philosophy, computer science, literature, and media studies.
