In this study, we relied on the attentional switch cost to ascertain whether a crisis mindset can activate and momentarily bring related implicit knowledge into awareness. We found that the attentional switch cost was higher in a crisis mindset condition than in a common mindset condition in which non-crisis-related stimuli were being attended to (Experiment 1). However, the attentional switch cost was lower in the crisis mindset condition when crisis-related stimuli were being attended to (Experiment 2A), and the reduced cost was not attributable to the complexity of the stimuli (Experiment 2B). A link emerged in the crisis mindset condition between the attentional switch cost and related implicit knowledge (Experiment 3A and 3B). Potential confounding factors were adequately controlled (see the Appendix). In conclusion, the results offer insight into the pivotal role of a crisis mindset. This finding delineates an alternative pathway in which implicit knowledge can be activated and brought into working memory once an event is perceived and interpreted as a crisis.
在这项研究中，我们依赖注意转换成本来确定危机思维是否可以激活并暂时将相关的内隐知识带入意识中。我们发现，在危机思维状态下，注意转换成本高于在普通思维状态下（实验 1），在普通思维状态下，非危机相关的刺激被注意到。然而，当注意到与危机相关的刺激时，注意转换成本在危机思维状态下较低（实验 2A），并且降低的成本不是由于刺激的复杂性（实验 2B）。在危机思维状态下，注意力转换成本与相关的内隐知识之间出现了联系（实验 3A 和 3B）。充分控制了潜在的混杂因素（见附录）。总之，这些结果为危机思维的关键作用提供了深入的了解。这一发现描绘了一种替代途径，即一旦事件被感知并解释为危机，内隐知识就可以被激活并带入工作记忆。
