The Effect of Specific Emotion and Personality Trait on Information Process of Decision-Making

Abstract

Abstract: We explored the impacts of emotion and personality trait on on the process of decision making. The results showed that: 1)In the mean decision time, specific emotions and personality traits had significant main effect and interaction effect on information process of decision making. In the sad emotion, individuals with internal control personality spent longer average decision time than ones with external control personality. The individuals with internal control personality spent longer average decision time in the sad emotion than in happy emotion. 2)As for the depth of decision information search, specific emotions and personality traits had a significant main effect and an interaction effect on information process of decision making. Under the sad emotion, individuals with internal control personality searched more information than ones with external control personality. The individuals with internal control personality searched more information in the sad emotion than in happy emotion. 3)In terms of the pattern of decision information search, the main effects of specific emotions and personality traits were significant, but the interaction was not. The individuals with internal control personality were inclined to process information based on alternative in sad emotion, and the individuals with internal control personality preferred to process more information based on options in sad emotion than in happy emotion. The individuals with external control personality preferred to process more information based on attribute in sad emotion than in happy emotion.

Key words: specific emotion, personality trait, average decision time, depth of information search, pattern of information search

摘要： 研究选取120名大学生,探讨了具体情绪与人格特质对平均决策时间、决策的信息搜索深度和决策的信息搜索模式的影响。结果发现：（1）在平均决策时间上,具体情绪与人格特质主效应显著,并且交互影响决策的信息加工过程。在悲伤情绪下,内控型比外控型人格的个体平均决策时间要长。内控型个体在悲伤情绪比高兴情绪状态下平均决策时间长。（2）在决策信息搜索深度上,具体情绪与人格特质主效应显著,并且交互影响决策的信息加工过程。在悲伤情绪下,内控型比外控型人格的个体信息搜索深度要深。内控型个体在悲伤情绪比高兴情绪状态下信息搜索深度要深。（3）在决策信息搜索模式上,具体情绪与人格特质主效应显著,但两者交互作用不显著。内控型比外控型人格特质的被试在悲伤状态下更倾向于基于选项加工,内控型个体在悲伤状态比在高兴状态下也倾向于选项加工,而外控型个体在高兴情绪状态比在悲伤情绪状态下更倾向于线索加工。
