概要 | Previous research found that a happy story that ended abruptly was rated more positively than a happy story that
extended a period with medium degree of happiness (Diener, Wirtz, & Oishi, 2001). The present study divided happy stories into economically gain and loss stories and investigated the effects of moderately happy life extension on the perceived desirability of these stories. One hundred seventy six undergraduates were given an income graph describing the life of a fictitious baseball player. The total incomes were equivalent between gain and loss stories. Previous finding was replicated in the gain condition. However, in the loss condition, the story that ended abruptly was rated less positively than the story with extension. Moreover, the loss story with extension was rated more positively than the gain story with the same extension. The possibility that the plot of a story might moderate the extended end effects were discussed. |
