Past research examining the effect of anger and sadness on decision making has associated anger with a relatively more heuristic decision-making approach. However, it is unclear whether angry and sad individuals differ while attending to decision-relevant information. An eye-tracking experiment (N=87) was conducted to examine the role of attention in links between emotion and decision making. Angry individuals looked more and earlier toward heuristic cues while making decisions, whereas sad individuals did not show such bias. Implications for designing persuasive messages and studying motivated visual processing were discussed.
过去研究愤怒和悲伤对决策的影响时，已将愤怒与相对更具启发式的决策方法联系起来。然而，尚不清楚愤怒和悲伤的个体在关注与决策相关的信息时是否存在差异。为此进行了一项眼动追踪实验（N = 87），以检验注意力在情绪与决策之间的联系中所起的作用。愤怒的个体在做决策时更早且更多地看向启发式线索，而悲伤的个体则未表现出这种偏向。文中还讨论了该研究对设计说服性信息以及研究动机性视觉加工方面的启示意义。
