Experimental study on the formation mechanism and consequences of Shared implicit fate beliefExperimental Study on the Formation Mechanism and Consequences of Shared Implicit Fate Belief
Objective: This study aims to understand the degree of environmental
extremes encountered by people and the amount of social resources possessed by
individuals, how the two interlace to affect people’s sense of control over the overall
situation and how the sense of control leads to different shared implicit beliefs, and
how shared implicit beliefs lead to different coping styles and behaviors. Methods:
Situational stories were used to control the severity of the incident and the amount of
resources. Results: The results showed that in addition to the major effects of severity
and resource availability, the expected results were also found in the comparative
analysis of the likelihood of injury improvement. In the scenario where M resources
are rich, the subjects think that the possibility of the injured person’s injury getting
better is significantly higher than that of the person with poor network, while in the
case of a cold (not extreme), there is no significant effect of good network. Conclusion:
Negotiable fate is the dominant fate in Chinese culture, which may bring about
adaptive results.
