Abstract

Decisions are important, which determine the path of the people’s life. Due to the social environment and other factors, Chinese students generally have less thoughtful consideration on their own. Also, Chinese culture brings the students strong persuasions from the explicit environment, many students involve in the field they have no interests. This study discusses implicit measure as an approach that help the students find out themselves. Implicit measures are measurement techniques that don’t require verbalization and that enable to study cognitive or affective processes that take place at the level of system. The study firstly discusses of decision-making, the effect of implicit on making decision, and investigate implicit social cognitive, implicit measures to evaluate implicit measure. The research also explores the influences of Chinese culture on Chinese students’ decision making. The research focuses on the implicit measure regarding the Chinese students’ choices on major studying. Compare to the verbalized guidance, implicit measure could help the students assess to their internal interests in a spontaneous way, and undertake deliberate consideration. This study aims to evaluate the implicit measure of decision making and reduce the explicit persuasions. The implicit measure is not the best solution and only can be used as referenced information, and the implicit measure should be applied step by step. The personal interest plays a significant role in their decision making, and they should have a grasp of it. Besides, the orientation and selection standards of the whole education system also need changes in order to develop the independence of Chinese students, even though there are complex economic, political, population and geography problems.
