焦虑情绪对决策的影响

Affection of Anxiety on Decision-Making

焦虑情绪会对人类的决策行为及其结果产生深刻的影响,其中最突出的表现是,焦虑水平的提高会使决策者倾向于回避风险,做出保守的选择。近年来,国外研究者从不同的角度分析这一现象的原因,归纳出了几种可能的影响因素——包括认知资源因素、信息加工因素、概率偏向因素与情绪取向因素等。这些因素的提出,促进了对焦虑影响决策的机制的认识。它们间虽有密切联系,但有待于整合成为一个统一的体系。

Current researches suggested that high level of anxiety would lead to risk-avoidant decision-making, and it was proposed that some important influencing factors might be responsible for this trend, including the cognitive resource factor, the information processing factor, the probability bias factor and the emotion regulation factor. This article introduced these factors with the biological and psychological proofs of them. However, there is still a lack of a relatively complete theoretical system.
