摘要

有时,人们互相帮助,希望得到回报,而有时,人们在没有回报的情况下提供帮助。这种还款预期差异的原因可能是什么?我们在一个具有全国代表性的美国成年人样本(N=915)中调查了这个问题,发现当需求被认为更可预测时,人们更有可能期待还款。然后,我们在一个新的美国成年人样本中复制了这些发现(N=417),并表明当需求被认为更可预测时,人们对还款的期望更高,因为人们在经历这种可预测的需求(例如,需要水电费)时会将更大的责任交给他人。这与之前基于小规模社会的研究一致,后者表明需求的可预测性会影响还款预期。我们的研究结果还补充了之前的工作,(1)表明先前在较小规模社区中发现的需求可预测性和还款预期之间的积极关系可推广到美国人口,(2)表明责任归属在一定程度上调节了这种关系。这项工作表明,需求的可预测性和对需求的责任归属是在需要时提供帮助的心理的重要因素。

Unpredictable needs are associated with lower expectations of repayment

Unpredictable needs are associated with lower expectations of repayment

Sometimes people help one another expecting to be repaid, while at other times people help without an expectation of repayment. What might underlie this difference in expectations of repayment? We investigate this question in a nationally representative sample of US adults (N = 915), and find that people are more likely to expect repayment when needs are perceived to be more predictable. We then replicate these findings in a new sample of US adults (N = 417), and show that people have higher expectations of repayment when needs are perceived to be more predictable because people assign greater responsibility to others for experiencing such predictable needs (e.g., needing money for utilities). This is consistent with previous work based on smaller-scale societies, which shows that the predictability of needs influences expectations of repayment. Our results also add to this previous work by (1) showing that the positive relationship between predictability of needs and expectations of repayment previously found in smaller-scale communities is generalizable to the US population, and (2) showing that attributions of responsibility partially mediate this relationship. This work shows that the predictability of needs and attributions of responsibility for that need are important factors underlying the psychology of helping in times of need.
