Abstract: The decision-making behavior of individuals and groups under the crisis situations has become the focus of the academic circles. This paper is organized with both the measures of laboratory experiment and questionnaire method in order to explore the effects of anger and fear emotion on crisis decision-making. The study induces anger and fear mood by watching the film clips and designs crisis situations on the basis of the questionnaire. Through analysis of the data, we can conclude that: (1) Concerning the crisis decision-making time, the subjects in fear mood are much longer than those in angry mood, and there is a significant interaction between emotional variables and the gender variables. (2) The female’s crisis decision-making time is obviously longer in fear mood than in angry mood , and also longer than the male’s . Meanwhile, in terms of the degree about satisfaction of the crisis decision-making, males are apparently higher than females, and there is a significant interaction between emotional variables and the gender variables in the degree about the confidence of crisis decision-making.(3) With the increase of the programs, especially when the number of programs is 4, crisis decision-making time is significantly longer than the other two cases.

摘要: 危机情景下个体和群体的决策行为已经成为学术界关注的焦点。为探讨愤怒和恐惧情绪对个体危机决策的影响,本研究采用实验和问卷调查相结合的方法,通过观看电影片段的方式有效地诱发了愤怒和恐惧两种情绪,在问卷调查的基础上编制危机决策情景进行研究,结果发现:(1)恐惧情绪状态下,被试的危机决策时间显著长于其在愤怒情绪状态下的危机决策时间,且情绪变量和性别变量在危机决策时间上存在显著的交互作用;(2)恐惧情绪状态下,女性被试的危机决策时间显著长于其在愤怒情绪状态下的危机决策时间,并且也显著地长于男性被试的危机决策时间。同时,男性被试对其危机决策的满意程度显著地高于女性被试,且情绪变量和性别变量在危机决策自信程度指标上存在显著的交互作用;(3)随着方案数量的增加,尤其当方案数量为4时,被试的危机决策时间较其他两种情况显著增长。
