説明

<p>Default options are known to strongly shape behavior, with individuals more likely to select the preset alternative. However, less is understood about how defaults affect people’s subjective sense of making a voluntary decision. This article examined the default effect in the context of recruiting participants for psychology experiments. In Study 1 (N=135), participants were randomly assigned to an opt-out condition (participation as the default) or an opt-in condition (non-participation as the default) and asked to select preferred time slots for an upcoming study. In Study 2 (N=108; undergraduate psychology students in Japan), a similar procedure was followed, with the addition of self-report measures assessing participants’ perceived voluntariness of their decision. In both studies, participants in the opt-out condition signed up for more slots compared to those in the opt-in condition. Furthermore, in Study 2, participants reported a stronger sense of voluntary decision-making when their choices aligned with the default, that is, signing up for more slots in the opt-out condition and fewer slots in the opt-in condition. Together, these findings suggest that default settings influence not only behavioral outcomes but also the subjective perception of voluntary decision-making.</p>
