酷人

Post by Jun » 2010-05-05 7:14

一篇最新(5/7)发表的"科学"杂志研究 replicate 一个以前的课题证据,用行为学试验证明,洗手这个象征性的动作能缓解良心的矛盾。这个试验和理论本身挺有趣,暂且按下不表,引起我的注意的是,"科学"放出来的 press release 里说,第一作者 Spike W.S. Lee 可以用英语,中文国语,粤语回答问题;senior 作者 Norbert Schwartz 可以用英语和德语回答问题。

我一心痒就 human flesh search engine 了一下,发现李同学原来是密西根大学心理学系的研究生,在 Schwartz 教授的实验室研究很有趣的课题,本科在香港中文大学毕业。这个英文名字,我猜,十有八九是自己给取的,李同学一定也是那个神神叨叨口没遮拦的小个子导演的影迷。要么就是另一个神神叨叨的导演的影迷。
To Quiet the Mind After a Tough Choice, Use Soap:

Washing your hands after making a difficult choice may help you live with your decision, new research suggests. Rather than looking at the moral implications of such decisions, as other studies on hand-washing have done (for example, Zhong and Liljenquist, Science, 8 September 2006), this Brevium investigates how hand-washing can alleviate a condition called “cognitive dissonance,” the uncomfortable feeling that comes from holding two opposing ideas in your mind at the same time. Spike W. S. Lee and Norbert Schwarz conducted two experiments. In the first, undergraduate students ranked 10 CDs, as part of an alleged consumer survey, and then were given a choice of taking home their fifth or sixth choices. Those students who washed their hands after making this choice later ranked their chosen and rejected CDs in roughly the same way as they had initially. In contrast, students who did not wash their hands later ranked their chosen CD substantially higher than the one they rejected, suggesting that they were rationalizing their choice. A second experiment, in which students chose one of two different fruit jams and then rated how they expected the jams to taste, had similar results. Students who cleaned their hands expected the jams to taste roughly the same, whereas students who had not cleaned their hands expected the chosen jam to taste much better. “Much as washing can cleanse us from traces of past immoral behavior, it can also cleanse us from traces of past decisions, reducing the need to justify them,” the authors write.

Article #7: "Washing Away Postdecisional Dissonance," by S.W.S. Lee; N. Schwarz at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI.

这个实验很有趣。

可是我好奇地说,难道就一定是因为“洗手”?也许洗手只是诸多可能性的一种,它引起了某些神经反应,让你从你选择的纠结之中暂时抽身出来了。也许干别的任何一件事,比如吃个苹果什么的,最后都是一样的结果;或者,干一件让你心情差的事情,比如做个不想做的作业,回头你就会觉得自己选择特差劲。 :mrgreen:

Apparently the control group in this experiment was to have people merely look at a soap bottle.

I would speculate that the effect of apple-eating would be different from washing one's hands, but taking a shower would be stronger than hand-washing.

Individual variation in degree/range of conflicts can be very large. I know people who have nearly NO internal conflicts. I should write about this topic some time.

我语重心长的说,其实我捏的老鼠很干净嗒,不洗手也没有大关系。就是自从被老鼠头咬了一口之后,我都戴塑料手套,那个味道很难闻....

我也不爱洗手。不过自从三年前怀了娃之后就把这毛病改掉了,而且每次洗手必须肥皂搓至少十秒钟。然后自从猪流感以后每次出卫生间都用纸巾开门。所以洗手可以纯粹因为卫生原因,和内心冲突没啥关系。
