尽管在“一时冲动”时做出的决定具有重要的社会意义，但很少有研究检验性唤起对判断和决策的影响。在这里，我们考察了由自我刺激引起的性唤醒对男大学生做出的判断和假设决定的影响。学生被分配到性唤醒状态或中性状态，并被要求：(1)表明他们对广泛的性刺激和活动有多大的吸引力，(2)报告他们为了获得性满足而从事道德上有问题的行为的意愿，以及(3)描述他们在性唤起时参与不安全性行为的意愿。结果表明，性唤起对判断和决策的所有三个领域都有很强的影响，表明情景因素对偏好的重要性，以及受试者无法预测这些影响对自己行为的影响。版权所有(C)2005 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
Despite the social importance of decisions taken in the "heat of the moment," very little research has examined the effect of sexual arousal on judgment and decision making. Here we examine the effect of sexual arousal, induced by self-stimulation, on judgments and hypothetical decisions made by male college students. Students were assigned to be in either a state of sexual arousal or a neutral state and were asked to: (1) indicate how appealing they find a wide range of sexual stimuli and activities, (2) report their willingness to engage in morally questionable behavior in order to obtain sexual gratification, and (3) describe their willingness to engage in unsafe sex when sexually aroused. The results show that sexual arousal had a strong impact on all three areas of judgment and decision making, demonstrating the importance of situational forces on preferences, as well as subjects' inability to predict these influences on their own behavior.
