摘　　要：数量信息由具体数字和表明其本质的单位构成,研究通过2个预研究和3个实验旨在基于解释水平理论探讨不同颜色(黑白或彩色)背景下数字与单位信息在数量信息评估中的相对优势及其对随后选择偏好的影响。结果发现,颜色会调节数量信息判断过程中的数字效应与单位效应,进而影响其选择偏好。具体而言,个体在彩色条件下会更关注数字信息,表现为数字效应;在黑白条件下则会更关注单位信息,表现为单位效应。这可能因为不同颜色条件下个体的解释水平(黑白-高解释水平、彩色-低解释水平)会发生变化,进而影响了其对数字与单位的关注程度,从而表现出不同的数量效应。People often need to evaluate and make decisions based on quantitative information.Exploring effective ways to present quantitative information is crucial for enhancing the marketing effectiveness of advertisements and the persuasive role of public propaganda.Previous research has demonstrated that manipulating construal levels can alter individuals’attention toward units or numerical information.Still,little attention has been paid to how to combine color design to enhance the persuasiveness of quantity information representation.Therefore,this study aims to explore the impact of numbers and units on quantity information evaluation and related behaviors under different color backgrounds(black and white or color)through two pretests and three experiments.Pretest 1 examined the impact of different colors on construal levels using the Behavior Identification Form(BIF).Pretest 2 measured the relationship between unit/numerical information and construal level.Experiment 1 employed a 2(color:black-and-white vs.color)×2(unit:small vs.large)between-subjects design,using a building construction background to investigate the impact of units on evaluating quantity information in blackand-white or color backgrounds.Experiments 2a and 2b were conducted in an experimental consumer decision-making scenario,using two different methods to measure consumer behavior(Experiment 2a:purchase intentions;Experiment 2b:willingness to pay),to investigate whether color and units,based on their impact on the perception of quantity information differences,would further influence consumer behavior and to test the robustness of the research findings.Two pretests showed that black-and-white images led to a higher construal level compared to color images,and units were associated with a higher construal level compared to numerical information.Pretests showed that both color and number were related to low construal levels,and both black-andwhite and unit were related to high construal levels.Additionally,the research demonstrated that the col
