The influence of Emotions and Cognitive Styles on Advice Taking

Abstract

Abstract: Two experiments were designed to explore the influence of emotions and cognitive styles on people’s advice taking. The emotions were induced by watching different movies video clips. Experiment 1 used choice task, and experiment 2 used estimation task. The results indicated that: (1) The subjects with happiness were more likely to accept other’s advice than the angry subjects. Field-dependent subjects were more likely to accept other’s advice than the field-independent subjects. Females were more likely to accept other’s advice than males. (2) In the estimation task, the degree of advice taking between the field-dependent subjects and field-independent subjects was no significant difference when they were in the state of anger, but was lower than in the state of happiness.

Key words: advice taking, emotion, cognitive style, gender

摘要： 通过电影诱发被试的情绪,利用两个实验探讨了情绪和认知方式对个体建议采纳的影响。实验一采用选择任务,实验二采用估计任务,研究发现:(1)愉快情绪状态下的被试建议采纳程度高于愤怒的被试,场依存型被试建议采纳程度高于场独立型被试,女性比起男性更易采纳他人建议；(2)在估计任务中,无论场依存者还是场独立者,在愤怒状态下建议采纳程度无显著差异,且均低于愉快状态下。
