English: this is a cropped version of an image than another Wikipedia user (named Anders Sandberg) made.
His description:
The region-beta paradox: a person prefers to walk (at 3 miles per hour) if distances are less than a mile, and to bike (15 miles per hour) for longer distances. Despite the remoteness of points in region beta, they will be reached faster than most points in the nearby region alpha. This was used by Gilbert et al. to illustrate the non-monotonic effect of psychological processes on speed of recovery from an aversive stimulus. Based on figure 1 in: Daniel T. Gilbert, Matthew D. Lieberman, Carey K. Morewedge, and Timothy D. Wilson. (2004). The Peculiar Longevity of Things Not So Bad. Psychological Science. Vil 15:1, pp. 14-19
