合取谬误的情绪唤醒机制:文理科生间的差异比较

The Mechanism of Emotional Arousal in Conjunction Fallacy:The Comparison between the Arts and Science Students

本研究探讨了文、理科生在合取谬误的情绪唤醒机制上的差异。文、理实验组接受逻辑思维+情绪唤醒训练,文、理控制组接受逻辑思维训练。结果发现,情绪唤醒训练能减少文、理科实验组在后测中的合取谬误。与理科实验组相比,文科实验组在后测更少出现合取谬误。另外,在文科实验组中,有情绪唤醒训练效果的被试的爱荷华成绩比无情绪唤醒训练效果的被试高,而在理科实验组中无此发现。本研究揭示了合取谬误的情绪唤醒机制受个体情绪唤醒敏感性的影响且情绪唤醒训练作用具有多重性。

In the present study, we aimed to study the difference between the art and science students in emotional arousal in conjunction fallacy. After completing a computerized version of the IGT, participants of both the art and the science students accepted either emotional-based inhibition training or only logical training to avoid conjunction bias on a frequency judgment task. Pre- and post-test performances were assessed via another probability judgment task. The results showed that only the emotional-based training can enable the participants to avoid cognitive bias. What＇s more, compared to the sciences students, the art students had a better inhibition training effect. This study suggested that individuals with different thinking style were different in emotional-based learning ability which had affected the emotional arousal in Conjunction Fallacy and the effect of emotional-based inhibition training was multiple.
