| Tiivistelmä: | The circumstances under which initial inaction tends to persist were studied. Inaction inertia occurs when bypassing an initial action opportunity decreases the likelihood that subsequent similar action opportunities will be taken. The authors studied the case in which an initial attractive action opportunity, which is not taken, is followed by another positive but somewhat less attractive action opportunity. In 6 experiments participants were less likely to take the second action when the discrepancy in attractiveness between the initial and final action opportunities were relatively large. |
