| 释义 |
Psychological inertia is a tendency towards omission (i.e., not acting) due to the lack of an incentive or psychological motive to engage in an act (i.e., in act of commission).[1][1] As such, psychological inertia is a psychological mechanism that leads to omission bias[2]. Psychological inertia can be thought of as analogous to Newton's First Law of Motion (i.e., law of inertia) which states that an object maintains its state of motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Likewise, psychological inertia is the idea that individuals don't act to alter the current course of affairs unless they have a psychological motive to do so[1]. ImportanceRitov and Baron (1992)[2] have shown that the status quo bias often results from omission bias rather than from a desire to maintain the status quo. Psychological inertia provides one potential explanation for this finding. David Gal has argued that many effects studied by both psychologists and behavioral economists and commonly attributed to loss aversion, including status quo bias, the endowment effect, and a tendency to choose risky over safe options in some contexts, are better explained by psychological inertia.[3][4]References1. ^{{Cite journal|last=Gal|first=David|last2=Rucker|first2=Derek D.|date=2018-04-20|title=The Loss of Loss Aversion: Will It Loom Larger Than Its Gain?|journal=Journal of Consumer Psychology|language=en|volume=28|issue=3|pages=497–516|doi=10.1002/jcpy.1047|issn=1057-7408}} {{Economics-stub}}{{Psych-stub}}2. ^1 {{Cite journal|last=Ritov|first=Ilana|last2=Baron|first2=Jonathan|date=1992-02-01|title=Status-quo and omission biases|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00208786|journal=Journal of Risk and Uncertainty|language=en|volume=5|issue=1|pages=49–61|doi=10.1007/BF00208786|issn=1573-0476}} 3. ^1 2 {{Cite journal|last=Gal|first=David|date=2006|title=A psychological law of inertia and the illusion of loss aversion|url=http://www.sjdm.org/~baron/journal/jdm06002.pdf|journal=Judgment and Decision Making|volume=1|pages=23–32|via=}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/06/opinion/sunday/behavioral-economics.html|title=Opinion {{!}} Why Is Behavioral Economics So Popular?|access-date=2018-11-19}} 2 : Cognitive biases|Behavioral economics |
