失恋心境和失恋情绪诱发对冒险行为的影响

The Influence of Breaking-up Mood and Breaking-up Emotion Priming to Risk-taking Behavior

考察失恋者和控制组在情绪启动后的风险选择特点,探究失恋心境和失恋情绪诱发对冒险行为影响的特征。方法:招募26名失恋被试和26名没有恋爱经历的被试,进行2组别(失恋组,控制组)×2情绪启动(启动,非启动)被试间设计,使用特定领域风险问卷评估冒险行为。结果:(1)情绪启动的主效应在经济、健康、社会、娱乐四个风险领域均显著,情绪启动组的冒险行为高于非情绪启动组;(2)失恋组的风险行为低于控制组,且只在社会和娱乐两个领域显著不同。结论:诱发失恋情绪引起更多冒险行为;而失恋心境状态下对冒险行为有所规避。

The breaking-ups are a special experience of love. They have a specific mood and lasted for a long time after the end of a romantic relationship. Also, they have a priming emotion when they meet something related to love. The present paper would like to research the breaking-up mood and the breaking-up priming emotion. The research materials contained two parts： emotion priming videos and the questionnaire of risk choices in specific areas. The video （1 rain 55 sec, mandarin, sound） were chosen according to the standard method of Gross, and standardized by other 56 participants. The questionnaire of risk choices in specific area used Likert-5 and contained four parts： entertainment risk, health risk, social risk and financial risk. In this present stud3r, 52 participants （16 males, 36 females, mean age = 23） were enrolled. The current study used the design of 2 （break-up group, control group） x 2 （emotion priming, no emotion priming）. There were two groups： the people who had experienced the end of a romantic relationship in the past 24 months were assigned to the breaking-ups group; the people who had no romantic relationship and were single until now were assigned to the control group. In the between-group design, these participants were divided into two experimental conditions at random： emotion priming condition, and no emotion priming condition. The breaking-ups were asked to finish a ＂self-rating emotion scale＂, and then told that they would experience a test about the end of the relationship. The control group were also asked to complete the scale, but only told that they would do a test about love. The emotion priming group would see the movie first, and finish another ＂emotion scale＂. Then, they would fill out the questionnaire. The non-emotion priming group would fill out the questionnaire without seeing the movie. The results of the experiment showed that： the group of emotion priming had significantly higher scores in every four domains＇ risk-taking behavior than that of no priming emotion. The difference of two groups in financial area was statistically significant, F（1, 48）=5.09,p 〈 .05. The scores in health area were statistically significant, F（1, 48）=5.101,p 〈 .05. The scores in social area were statistically significant, F（1, 48）=6.57,p 〈 .05. And the scores in recreational area were statistically significant, F（1, 48）=12.42, p 〈 .05. Meanwhile, the risk-taking behavior of the break-up people was markedly lower in social （F（1, 48）--4.06,p 〈 .05） and recreational （F（1, 48）=8.48,p〈 .05） domains than the control group. There were no significant differences between the breaking ups and the control group in the financial area and the health area. The interaction effects were non-significant. This current paper studied the feature of risk choice, which was influenced by one condition called emotion priming （incidental affect） and by the other condition called lovelorn-self （integral affect）. The study results suggested that the end of a romantic relationship could induce people＇s negative emotion, and influence their risk-taking behavior. The breaking-ups without emotion priming would avoid the risk-taking behavior, which may be due to their concerns about being hurt.
