Effects Of Self-involvement And Workload Of Working Memory On Risk Decision-making Framework For Middle School Students

The framing effect refers to the fact that people are influenced by alternative ways of description in the process of risk decision making,and there is a phenomenon of reversal.In recent years,the research on the frame effect in risk decision-making has attracted much attention.It is still unclear whether the middle school student group shows the same frame effect as adults.At the same time,the influence of different levels of self-involvement and work memory load on the risk-making framework effect is also controversial,and comparative studies on the frame effects in different decision-making situations are also less involved.On this basis,this study explores the influence of self-involvement and work memory load on the risk decision framework effect of different problem situations.The research is divided into 3 parts,the research one is the influence of frame description on the risk decision of middle school students in different situations,and the influence of two frame description on the risk decision of middle school students in different situations.The effect of working memory load on the risk decision framework of middle school students was studied.The study was based on a single factor experimental design,2(Self involvement: with/without)*2(frame: positive/Negative)and 2(working memory load: 0 letters/3 letters)*2(frame: positive/negative)experimental design,explore framework description,The influence of self involvement and working memory load on the risk decision frame effect of middle school students in different decision-making situations respectively.Research shows:(1)The risk decision-making of middle school students is affected by the frameworking effect in the different decision-making situations of life issues,environmental issues,social issues,and money issues.The impact is significant.That is,the active framework tends to be more conservative,and the negative framework is more prone to risk.(2)Under different decision-making situations,self-involvement variables have no significant impact on the framework effect of risk decision-making for middle school students.(3)The working memory load variable weakens the frame effect in the context of environmental problems and social issues.In the context of working memory load,under the positive framework,students in the middle school students are more impulsive than those without the working memory load.Secondary school students are more conservative than those without working memory.In the context of life and money issues,working memory load variables have not had a significant impact on the frame effect of risk decision-making.Through research and analysis,we can draw the following conclusions:First,framing effects exist not only in adults' risk decision-making but also in middle school students.The framework effect is universal.Second,the framework effect is prevalent in different decision situations.Third,self involvement does not affect the framework effect of risk decision-making for middle school students,and is consistent in different decision-making situations.Fourth,the effect of working memory load on the frame effect of middle school students is not consistent.Working memory load does not affect the framing effect in decision making situations(life and money),which are related to the life experience of middle school students.In the decision-making environment(environment and Society),which is less related to the life experience of middle school students,working memory load weakens the framing effect,and the influence of the framework weakens.
