People often change their thinking to justify decisions, downplaying moral feelings and emphasizing costs. This defensive cognition influences information search strategies, but not necessarily inner states, suggesting a need for new models.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Decision-Making Research
  • Cognitive Science

Context:

  • Investigates cognitive processes underlying behavioral choices, particularly in altruistic contexts like charitable donations.
  • Examines how individuals acquire and process information when faced with decisions involving behavioral alternatives.
  • Focuses on the interplay between cognitive changes, information search strategies, and internal states.

Purpose:

  • To explore defensive cognitive changes that occur after a decision-making task, specifically regarding behavioral costs and moral obligations.
  • To determine the relationship between these defensive cognitive shifts and the information search strategies employed by subjects.
  • To test the consistency of observed cognitive changes with established models, including those by Schwartz & Howard and Piliavin et al.

Summary:

  • Seventy-six subjects simulated information search for a donating behavior, rating attribute importance before and after the decision.
  • Findings revealed defensive cognitive changes: increased importance of costs, decreased importance of moral feelings, aligning partly with the Schwartz & Howard model.
  • Cognitive changes were linked to information search strategies but showed no relation to inner states, challenging existing models and proposing an alternative.

Impact:

  • Provides empirical support for defensive cognition in decision-making, highlighting how individuals rationalize choices.
  • Refines understanding of the Schwartz & Howard model by linking cognitive shifts to information-seeking behaviors.
  • Suggests limitations in current models (Piliavin et al., Schwartz & Howard) and necessitates the development of new theoretical frameworks for decision-making and internal states.
