摘要

人们通常使用“随机”、“偶然”或“意外”等术语来描述那些避开正常过程的事件,这些事件与正在进行的活动没有明显的因果关系。这种侵入性事件通常被认为是突然发生的。这在七个实验(N = 1299)中得到了证明,通过要求人们识别他们认为属于偶然事件故事的陈述,并通过比较他们自己和他人生活中的偶然事件与非偶然事件。突然性似乎与事件的开始而不是结束有更强的联系。因此,人们更容易相信一段事业或一段感情的突然开始是“偶然的”,而不是“偶然的”。但改变人生的事件不会因为被放在“人生篇章”的开头而变得更加偶然。这些研究强调了感知随机性的一个核心但被忽视的特征。

Out of the blue: on the suddenness of perceived chance events
Abstract People commonly use terms like ‘random’, ‘by chance’, or ‘accidentally’ when they describe occurrences that sidestep the normal course of events, with no apparent causal link to ongoing activities. Such intrusive events are typically perceived as happening all of a sudden. This was demonstrated in seven experiments (N = 1299) by asking people to identify statements they believed belonged to stories about chance events, and by comparing chance vs. non-chance events from their own life and from the lives of others. Suddenness also appeared to be more strongly associated with beginnings than with endings of an episode. Thus, statements about sudden beginnings of a career or a relationship were more readily believed to happen ‘by chance’ than ‘not by chance’. But life-changing events did not become more accidental simply by being placed in the beginning of a ‘life chapter’. These studies highlight a central but neglected feature of perceived randomness.
