We present a novel theoretical framework called the Action Priming Perspective to predict effects of discrete emotions on judgment and decision-making and report results from two studies examining five discrete emotions (anger, disgust, fear, happiness, and sadness) and neutral on a behavioral task of risky decision-making. We tested two hypotheses concerning single and combinatorial effects of the emotions based on previous theoretical and empirical work delineating the action priming functions of discrete emotions. As predicted, a fear–sadness combination, elicited separately but combined for analyses, produced the highest risk-taking behavior, higher than an anger–disgust combination (also elicited separately but combined for analyses). Sadness also produced more risky behavior than did disgust, as predicted. These effects, however, did not occur when the task was less uncertain. These findings were discussed vis-à-vis understanding implications of specific, discrete emotions on risky, ambiguous judgment and decision-making.

顺便引发的多种离散情绪对危险行为有不同的影响：行动启动视角

我们提出了一种称为“行动启动视角”的新颖理论框架，用于预测离散情绪对判断和决策的影响，并报告了两项研究的结果，该研究检查了五种离散情绪（愤怒、厌恶、恐惧、快乐和悲伤）和中性情绪对行为的影响。风险决策的任务。我们基于先前描述离散情绪的行动启动功能的理论和实证工作，测试了关于情绪的单一和组合效应的两个假设。正如预测的那样，单独引发但组合进行分析的恐惧-悲伤组合产生了最高的冒险行为，高于愤怒-厌恶组合（也单独引发但组合进行分析）。正如预测的那样，悲伤也会比厌恶产生更多的危险行为。然而，当任务不确定性较小时，这些影响不会发生。我们讨论了这些发现，以理解特定的、离散的情绪对危险的、模糊的判断和决策的影响。
