We counter Huang & Bargh's (H&B's) metaphoric description of the unconscious, selfish goal on three points. First, we argue, unconscious goals are rooted in conscious choices related to well-being. Second, unconscious goal pursuit occurs through early-stage orienting mechanisms that promote individuals' well-being. Third, unconscious goals work selflessly, resulting in their own demise.
我们针对 Huang 和 Bargh(H&B)对无意识、自私目标的隐喻描述提出了三点反驳意见。首先,我们认为无意识目标根植于与福祉相关的有意识选择。其次,无意识目标的追求是通过早期导向机制实现的,这些机制促进了个体的福祉。最后,无意识目标无私地运作,导致它们自身的消亡。
