The Effects Of Social Reward Anticipation On The Risk Preference Of College Students' Career Choice

Social reward as a kind of external stimulation,often has different meaningings in different situations,because it can be presented in different forms or conditions, and it also can make the individual produce different psychological changes.This research aims to explore social reward anticiption affect college students' career choice risk preference,probe for whether different conditions of social reward anticipation affect differently on college students'career choice.The findings are supposed to offer some insights into the relation study of college students'career choice and career development.Therefore,the first experiment respectively selects high and low level of social reward as subjects, aimed to investigate differentindividuals in the presence or absence of social reward anticipationconditions have different career choice risk preference through 2 (subjects types:highsocial rewardlevel, low social reward level) x 2 (social reward anticipation:have,not have)×3 (career option risk:high risk, medium risk, low risk) of mixed experimental design.The second experiment introduce different social reward anticipation value (high, low), In order to explore different Social reward anticipationvalue conditions have different career choice risk preference, through2(social reward anticipation value:high, low) x 3 (career option risk:high risk, medium risk, low risk)of within experimental design.The third experiment introduced Different social reward anticipation time,in order to expore the differences of expected effection of two kinds social reward expected time,through 2 (social reward anticipation time:long,short) x 3 (career option risk:high risk, medium risk, low risk) of mixed experimental design.The fouth experiment introduced social reward anticipation feedback familiarity to explore how different feedback familiarity affect in dividuals'career decision-making risk preference,through 2 (feedback familiarity:lfamili ar, not familiar) x 3 (career option risk:high risk, medium risk, low risk) of mixed experimental design.Through the researches we draw the following conclusions:(1)On the social reward anticipation, the high level of social reward subjects make a decision more slowly than that of low social reward level.In the absence of social reward expectations, only on the low risk option, the high level of social reward make decisions faster than that of low social reward level subjects.Under the c ondition of have the expected reward, there was no significant difference between care er decision-making risk propensity in high and low level of social reward participants(2)Under the condition of social reward high expectations, the participants make a decision in the risky option faster than in low social reward expectations.And in the medium and low risk option differences were not significant under the condition of high and low social reward expected.There was no significant difference between risk propensity on the subjects of career decision-making.For Career decision-making scheme choice, under the condition of high and low social reward expected, there was no significant difference between subjects of the career decision-making scheme sele ction percentage.(3)Subjects on the risky option make decision fastest, the second is on the medium and low risk option.There was no significant difference between social reward expected time and career decision-making risk propensity. There was no significant di fference between subjects of the career decision-making scheme selection percentage.(4)Familiar group make a decision slower than that of not familiar group.Social reward expected feedback familiarity and career decision-making risk tendency were no significant. Differences of career decision-making scheme selection is more subjects tend to choose the risk plan.Under the same condition of social reward expectations, There was no significant difference between subjects of the career decision-making sc heme selection percentage between feedback familiar and unfamiliar group participants.
