提出一个动态理论,解释人们如何通过采纳世界观来塑造判断,并强调心态灵活性这一特质如何影响决策者对当前和预期世界观的权重分配,从而产生丰富的动态行为。

Abstract

We propose and develop a dynamic theory of endogenous preference formation in which people adopt worldviews that shape their judgments about their experiences. The framework highlights the role of mindset flexibility, a trait that determines the relative weights the decision-maker places on her current and anticipated worldviews when evaluating future outcomes. The theory generates rich behavioral dynamics, thereby illuminating a wide range of applications and providing potential explanations for a variety of observed phenomena.
