Abstract: | 人們如何處理與原先信念衝突但可能有幫助的資訊?我們用經濟學實驗來研究人在面對這類資訊時如何進行貝氏修正。實驗中電腦將每個人獨立地隨機指定到兩個盒子之一、從中抽出一顆球,然後獲得另一個人所申報的新資訊,但他只有一半的機會跟自己是同一個盒子。我們發現當新資訊與自己原先的資訊相衝突時,人們更新信念的結果會更偏離貝氏更新的預測,表示他們將新資訊過度地歸因於與自己不同的盒子,而且即使考慮人們認定他人有可能胡亂申報,這個效果仍然存在。因此,當新資訊與原先信念衝突時,人們會有將之歸因於不相干的傾向,進而忽略新資訊、不願更新信念,形成穩定的同溫層均衡。 How do individuals update beliefs from contradicting information that could be potentially irrelevant? We conducted a laboratory experiment to investigate the ability to process such information, in which each subject independently draws a ball from one of two digital urns and receives information reported by another subject who may or may not have drawn from the same urn. We document evidence that subjects who receive new conflicting information deviate more from Bayesian updating, indicating that subjects overly believe the new information is irrelevant. This effect is robust even allowing subjects to perceive others reporting randomly. This pattern of attributing conflicting information as irrelevant may form the foundation of stable echo chambers or equilibria where additional information has no effect on beliefs. |
