Abstract

Before
In line with the existing literature, our study propose the hypotheses that negativity bias still exists if we focus on the sole-aspiration effects. We, however, hypothesize that the priority ranking reveals that clients displaying positive historical aspiration while having negative social aspiration are the most preferred. A discrete choice experiment (DCE) is conducted with frontline employees (school teachers). There are four types of performance profiles: the improving top-achiever (positive SAP and positive HAP), the improving lower-achiever (negative SAP and positive HAP), the declining top-achiever (positive SAP and negative HAP), and the declining lower-achiever (negative SAP and negative HAP). Teachers will receive two performance profiles from two students, and they need to choose which student they are more inclined to help for performance improvement.

After
We argue that (1) performance can be and should be interpreted from different perspectives, and that (2) both social aspitaion performance (SAP) and historical aspiration performance (HAP) should be considered simultaneously. Based on the two arguments, we propose a series of hypotheses according to diverse and mixed evidence from past research. There are four types of performance profiles: the improving high-performer (positive SAP and positive HAP), the improving low-performer (negative SAP and positive HAP), the declining high-performer (positive SAP and negative HAP), and the declining low-performer (negative SAP and negative HAP). Each performance profile conveys unique information, which may lead actors to respond differently. An experiment is conducted with frontline employees (school teachers). Teachers will receive two performance profiles from two students, and they need to choose which student they are more inclined to help for performance improvement.

Before
There are four types of performance profiles: the improving top-achiever (positive SAP and positive HAP), the improving lower-achiever (negative SAP and positive HAP), the declining top-achiever (positive SAP and negative HAP), and the declining lower-achiever (negative SAP and negative HAP). Thus we will get 6 two-alternatives choice sets. All teachers need to answer 6 choice sets.
