Özet:
A central finding, and even principle, in psychology and related disciplines is that uncertainty affects individuals' propensity to seek information in a positive, linear manner. The more uncertain an individual is about a stimulus, the more information he or she desires. In contrast to this principle, the present research suggests that the relationship between uncertainty and desire for information might often be curvilinear (i.e., an inverted-U). Specifically, I propose that uncertainty provides a basis for individuals to make forward-looking inferences, which I term projections, about both the benefits and costs of information. Due to these projections, individuals' desire to seek information can peak at moderate levels of uncertainty, rather than at high levels of uncertainty. Five experiments and data from a large-scale field survey find evidence consistent with this perspective. The present research broadens theory beyond the classic principle of a positive linear relationship and enriches our understanding of how individuals interpret and respond to uncertainty.
