Reinterpreting Time in Fit Theory: Crafting and Recrafting Narratives of Fit in Medias Res
提出了一个模型,解释个体如何在过程中不断构建和重塑关于匹配的叙事,这些叙事由回顾、当前和预期的匹配组成,并通过主题串联,帮助个体理解匹配体验并影响结果。
We expand the largely contemporaneous fit literature with a model that explains how individuals craft and recraft stories of fit in medias res—in the middle of things. These fit narratives, composed of retrospected, current, and anticipated fit and woven together by a theme, help individuals make sense of their fit experiences and relate to outcomes through temporal influence and temporal comparison processes. Our model both extends and reinterprets our understanding of fit over time.
