We investigated the causal relation between emotional awareness (EA) and suspiciousness, and whether this relation is moderated by gender. After inducing an unpleasant mood, we manipulated EA by having participants read one of two versions of a story (the high EA condition provided cues to what the participant was feeling and why, whereas the low EA condition did not). Following the manipulation, one sample of participants completed a measure of suspiciousness, and a second, independent sample of participants described their emotional state. Emotional Awareness Condition x Gender effects were obtained for suspiciousness and EA. Men in the low EA condition reported significantly higher levels of suspiciousness and lower levels of EA than men in the high EA condition. Women in both conditions reported equally high levels of EA, which were greater than those of men in both conditions, and the manipulation did not affect their levels of suspiciousness.
我们研究了情绪意识（EA）与猜疑之间的因果关系，以及这种关系是否受性别的调节。在诱发不愉快情绪后，我们通过让参与者阅读故事的两个版本之一来操纵情绪意识（高情绪意识条件提供了关于参与者感受及其原因的线索，而低情绪意识条件则没有）。操纵之后，一组参与者完成了一项猜疑测量，另一组独立的参与者描述了他们的情绪状态。在猜疑和情绪意识方面获得了情绪意识条件×性别效应。低情绪意识条件下的男性报告的猜疑水平显著高于高情绪意识条件下的男性，而情绪意识水平则更低。两种条件下的女性报告的情绪意识水平同样高，且高于两种条件下的男性，并且这种操纵并未影响她们的猜疑水平。
