不确定性和影响是人类状况的基本和相互关联的方面。不确定性通常与消极影响有关，但在某些情况下，它与积极影响有关。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了不同的解释不确定性和影响之间的关系。我们确定“心理模拟”作为一个关键的过程，连接不确定性的情感状态。我们认为，人们有一种倾向，以模拟消极的结果，这导致倾向于消极的情感反应的不确定性。我们还提出了这个过程中存在的几个重要的主持人，包括上下文和个体差异，如不确定性容忍度，以及情绪调节策略。最后，我们强调重要的知识差距和未来的研究，实证和概念，进一步阐明不确定性和影响之间的关系有前途的领域。
Uncertainty and affect are fundamental and interrelated aspects of the human condition. Uncertainty is often associated with negative affect, but in some circumstances, it is associated with positive affect. In this article, we review different explanations for the varying relationship between uncertainty and affect. We identify "mental simulation" as a key process that links uncertainty to affective states. We suggest that people have a propensity to simulate negative outcomes, which result in a propensity toward negative affective responses to uncertainty. We also propose the existence of several important moderators of this process, including context and individual differences such as uncertainty tolerance, as well as emotion regulation strategies. Finally, we highlight important knowledge gaps and promising areas for future research, both empirical and conceptual, to further elucidate the relationship between uncertainty and affect.
