Traditionally, research on affordances and emotions follows two separate routes. For the first time, this article explicitly links the two phenomena by investigating whether, in a discrimination task (artifact vs. natural object), the motivational states induced by emotional images can modulate affordances-related motor response elicited by dangerous and neutral graspable objects. The results show faster RTs: (i) for both neutral and dangerous objects with neutral images; (ii) for dangerous objects with pleasant images; (iii) for neutral objects with unpleasant images. Overall, these data support a significant effect of emotions on affordances. The article also proposes a brain neural network underlying emotions and affordance interplay.
传统上，关于可供性和情绪的研究遵循两条不同的路径。本文首次通过研究在一项辨别任务（人工制品与自然物体）中，由情绪图像引发的动机状态是否能够调节由危险和中性可抓握物体引发的与可供性相关的运动反应，将这两种现象明确联系起来。结果显示反应时间更快：（i）对于带有中性图像的中性和危险物体；（ii）对于带有愉悦图像的危险物体；（iii）对于带有不悦图像的中性物体。总体而言，这些数据支持情绪对可供性有显著影响。本文还提出了一个情绪与可供性相互作用的脑神经网络。
