本期节目以托里峡谷号油轮触礁事故为例,探讨了计划延续偏差(plan-continuation bias)这一心理学现象。该现象指人们在制定计划后,即使情况发生变化,也往往坚持原计划,不愿改变航向,即使这样做会带来风险。托里峡谷号船长鲁吉亚蒂在时间压力下,未能及时调整航线,最终导致触礁事故。 节目中分析了导致事故发生的多种因素,包括时间压力(赶在11点前到达港口)、洋流和风的影响(导致船只偏离航线)、船长缺乏休息(凌晨3点才睡)、没有携带航行指南(错过了重要的安全信息)、船员的失误(错误的定位信息)以及最后时刻的意外故障(转向控制杆被意外拨动)。这些因素共同作用,导致鲁吉亚蒂船长无法及时做出正确的决策,最终酿成惨剧。 节目还将这一现象与其他领域的事故进行了类比,例如航空领域飞行员的“get-there-itis”,以及医疗团队在训练中由于固守错误的理论而未能及时发现呼吸设备故障的案例。这些案例都说明了计划延续偏差的普遍性和危害性。 节目最后总结道,鲁吉亚蒂船长的错误是由于多种因素共同作用的结果,但他有足够的时间避免事故,但他没有这样做,这体现了人们改变航向的迟缓性。这提醒我们,在面对复杂情况时,要保持冷静,及时调整计划,避免因惯性和计划延续偏差而导致灾难发生。

Shownotes Transcript

Torrey Canyon was one of the biggest and best ships in the world - but its captain and crew still needlessly steered it towards a deadly reef known as The Seven Stones. This course seemed like utter madness, but the thinking that resulted in such a risky manoeuvre is something we are all prone to do when we fixate on a goal and a plan to get us there.
