To ferret out this cognitive mechanism, the researchers did nine experiments with a total of 2,100 participants.
为了确认这一认知机制,研究者们在2100个参与者中做了9个试验。
In two of those experiments, participants were asked to write about ethical or unethical actions from their personal histories. Fitting the hypothesis, unsavory memories were less vivid than the positive ones. And, intriguingly enough, memories of others’ actions didn’t differ in clarity depending on whether they were good or bad.
在其中的两个试验中,参与者们要求根据自己的过去写下一些道德或者不道德的行为。符合预期的设想,对于不道德的行为的记忆比道德行为的记忆要模糊很多。而且更加有趣的是,关于其他事情,无论好坏,记忆的清晰度都没太大差别。
In another study, participants completed a coin-toss task where they could lie to get more money. Two weeks later, the researchers measured their memory of playing the game and other episodes from that time, like eating dinner. Similarly, the people who cheated in the coin tossing had worse recall than the people who didn’t.
在另一个研究里,参与试验的人通过投掷硬币来完成一个可以用说谎来赚钱的任务。两周后,研究者测试了他们对此次任务的记忆以及期间的其他事情,比如说吃完饭之类的。同样的,在投掷硬币中撒了谎的人的记忆比那些没撒谎的人的记忆差很多。
