情绪与情绪调节策略对跨期决策的影响

The Effect of Emotions and Emotion Regulation Strategies on Intertemporal Choice

摘要: 当进行跨期决策(Intertemporal Choice)时决策者希望能够冷静理智地分析问题，以便做出最优的选择，然而在决策中常常会受到情绪的影响。以往的研究发现，当处于积极情绪时，决策者会变得耐心，倾向于选择远期收益；而处于消极情绪时，决策者会变得冲动，倾向于选择立即收益。情绪调节策略可以有效地调节消极情绪，增强积极情绪的体验，如认知重评、表达抑制等情绪调节策略。因此文章探究情绪对跨期决策的影响以及采用不同的情绪调节策略调整消极情绪，改善个体在跨期决策中短视行为，提高延迟满足的能力。

Abstract: When making an intertemporal choice, the decision maker wants to analyze the problem calmly and rationally in order to make the best choice. However, decision-making is often influenced by emotions. Previous research has found that when in positive emotions, decision-makers will become patient and tend to choose long-term gains, while when in negative emotions, decision-makers will become impulsive and tend to choose immediate gains. Emotion regulation strategies can effectively regulate negative emotions and enhance the experience of positive emotions, such as cognitive reappraisal, expression inhibition and other emotion regulation strategies. Therefore, this paper explores the effects of emotions on intertemporal choice and the use of different emotion regulation strategies to adjust negative emotions, improve individuals’ short-sighted behaviors in intertemporal choice, and increase the ability of delayed gratification.
