Abstract: Using a combined experimental (stroop task and competitive reaction time task, CRT) and questionnaire (Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale, PANAS) approach, the study investigated the effects of restorative environments on self-depleted aggressive behavior. Results showed a greater reactive aggressive behavior for high loss group than low loss group, while the differences of proactive aggressive behavior between the two groups was not significant. Also, the reactive aggressive behavior was significantly lower in restorative environment than in non-restorative environment after viewing the restorative and non-restorative environment, while there was no difference between two groups for proactive aggressive behavior. This research findings suggest that self-depletion causes negative emotional performance and increase in reactive aggressive behavior but has no impact on proactive aggressive behavior. Viewing restorative environment after self-depletion reduces aggressive behavior by alleviating negative emotional performance and increasing cognitive resources.

Key words: self-depletion, aggressive behavior, restorative environment

摘要: 本研究采用实验(stroop任务和竞争反应时任务)和问卷(积极情感消极情感量表)相结合的方法,探讨复愈性环境对自我损耗后攻击性行为的影响。结果发现:高损耗组反应性攻击行为显著大于低损耗组,两组主动性攻击行为差异不显著;观看复愈性环境和非复愈性环境后,复愈性环境组反应性攻击行为显著低于非复愈性环境组,主动性攻击行为两组无差异。结果表明:自我损耗后会产生情绪上的不良表现,反应性攻击行为增多,而主动性攻击行为不受损耗影响;自我损耗后观看复愈性环境,能够缓解情绪上的不良表现,增加认知资源,从而减少攻击行为。
